I struggle with depression. 

It goes off and on, but I definitely deal with suicidal thoughts a couple times a month, as well as occasional deep self-loathing. 

Sometimes I'm perfectly fine (actually, I'd say probably 80% of the time, I'm somewhere between normal and happy.)

A couple days ago, I was in a bad swing. I broke up with the person I was seeing largely out of fear that I was going to end up hurting him really badly. I also thought that it would be easier to seek therapy and actually confront the depression without being worried about my mental health affecting someone else so personally. 

I had time to think about it, and I've talked with him since then. He said that the relationship could be as serious or as non-serious as I was capable of, that he would be more than happy to listen, that if he felt that I was ever hurting him he had the ability to end things himself. I really like him; he's very patient, respectful, and compassionate. 

I'm going to sign up for therapy tomorrow at my college's health center. His roommate and best friend is pretty against him returning to the relationship now. They also live right next to me in the dorms.  

I'm confused and would appreciate advice.

I'm feeling depressed and suicidal with a relationship, which I don't want. I've tried talking to him, but he doesn't want to go through therapy. I'm
