Hi sorry to hear about your boyfriends depression problem but as I’m in a bit of a hurry so I won’t chat too much about it … all I want to say to you cocaine is the biggest downer that brings on depression.
Not all cocaine users come clean about it to their partners and it could well be that he was using cocaine before he shared his depression problem to you.
My partner has been a cocaine addict since his teens and now in his mid 30’s and Iv been with him 6 years now and only found 2 years ago he is a cocaine user.
He was depressed most days always had an excuse to back his depression … main reason debts I helped him get out of debt but only realised he was getting himself in debt because of his addiction.
Compulsive liar … hate his guts .. luckily I don’t live with him no more and I’m doing soo well .
Sorry for banging on about myself but cut the story short you need to dig more deeper in to your partner and to find out how long he has been using and how much he is using and is he willing to get help . There is help out there for users but it all comes down to them willing to accept that help .
Many users don’t take the help and that’s where it just gets worse and you will also get dragged down with it.
Good luck

Oh just to add to that my partner also has alcohol and drug addiction both . Recently he is showing me he has stopped and that’s all just to win me back again . But I know he will go back to it , I’m done with the abuse from him

It sounds as though the coke is a symptom of his mental health issues. He needs to be referred by his GP for help with that first before he tries to stop drugs
