Being a close friend of his for so many yrs, I knew he had depressive episodes , i just thought it was depression, i didnt know it was more till he said it was more than depression, but he couldnt say the rest. So just listening and never saying i suspect it is better idea? Thing is since i sent that book with info in it, i mentioned bipolar so he knows i know it could be that, but its never been brought up in talks, its like elephant in the room kinda where we both know what other may be thinking, but havent said ? How did you knowyou all were and how do we break our nervouseness to bring up stuff?
