My boyfriend has depression, how can I help him when he calls me and everything is just too much for him?

Usually I’m really good at being there for people when they need me, but my boyfriend and I haven’t been together that long and although I have strong feelings for him I just don’t know what to do to help him. We’re currently in a long distance relationship and he’ll be moving closer to me in about 3 months. I’m just not sure how I can help him currently, since I can’t just hug him and tell him it’ll all be okay. I try telling him it’ll be okay, but I can tell he gets annoyed and has snapped at me once telling me to stop saying that. I really care for him, and I just want some advice on how to help. Thank you!
