<human>: Some background: My boyfriend and I have been dating for 10 months. He is out of college and working as a teacher, which is what he wants to do while he writes, which is his real aspiration. I'm in my third year of undergrad in the hard sciences, and am applying to grad schools. I hope to do research in the future, and perhaps take on an associate professor position while I work in the school's labs. 

My boyfriend suffers from depression and constantly feels bad about himself. In reality he is very bright, though he feels bad compared to me. He feels insecure that I'm going on to a nice grad school and he will have only done undergrad. He mentions going back to school to get a masters in English or education, but hasn't made any steps towards doing so. He wants to write but always seems to get so depressed when doing so. 

I don't know what to do to help him. I have anxiety and get depressed, but nothing that helps me helps him. I want to help him pursue further schooling or get his writing off the ground, but am unsure how to do either. 

Thanks for reading this reddit, and thanks for your advice.
