I know you are worried about T, but trust that he does have a support system and that he can and will take care of yourself---he wants you to take care of you and not you take care and worry about him. I know it's "natural" for you to want to slip into the caretaker role, but T doesn't want you to do that with him.

I know you are confused about why he did tell you what was wrong with him, esp if he has disclosed stuff to you in the past, but maybe he feels like you have enough on your plate right now and doesn't want you to be worried about him too--even though you already are by not knowing. If it's really bothering you the next time you see T, can you ask him why now he chose not to tell you what is going on with him? Would it make you feel any better if you knew what happened to him? Would you be less worried and concerned? Maybe you can ask him to reassure you that he is okay without giving any further details....
