Hi Lil Bit, sometimes I isolate when I am depressed. Although I “want” to be alone I do appreciate people who keep reminding me that they care. When I am like that it is a catch 22—I feel like I need to be alone and yet I really want to have somebody love me/ care about me. My friends who know me don’t try to force me too much to go out or anything, but they do stay in touch and remind me that they care. In time, I generally open up to them and allow them to help me dig my way out of my depression. I can’t offer advice, but it is good when my friends ask me how therapy is going—do I want to talk about it... Even if I don’t want to talk about it, knowing they care interested helps.

Thanks DePressMe, I think I am just going to keep an eye on him. I have told a couple other people who know him well and care about him as well about my worries so they are watching with me. I suppose all I really can do is make sure he knows that I'm here for him no matter what, and if he comes then he comes and if not....well just hopefully he doesn't do anything drastic. Thanks so much for the personal insight on this.
