<human>: Can you provide a brief rundown of the text in within 3 sentences?

A little less than a week ago, my [24F] SO [22M] of a few months longer than a year admitted (after questioning from me) that he wasn't happy with who he was and wasn't sure why, but that he was lacking motivation and excitement for everyday things in life on some days. He asked for space to think it all through because he is prefers to work things out on his own (he's stubborn). I agreed to give him space (also said I would do whatever he needed me to if he felt that space wasn't working) and said that he needed to talk to someone, if not me, such as the counselors at his school. It's been several days since we last spoke and I have no idea if he's taking care of himself, if he's brought up his situation with anyone, or if he's even thinking about it. 

I just want to make sure that someone if aware of what is going on with him and is looking out for him, because (he's basically said the following things but in different ways) he doesn't want to negatively affect me with his depressed symptoms and is afraid that I'll break up with him because of this (which I have said repeatedly that I won't but... yeah).

So do I reach out to his close friends that I know he has the utmost respect for?
<bot>: My SO is going through a state of depression and hasn't spoken with me for days for various reasons. Do I tell his friends so that they'll be aware and help him if they think he needs it?
