Some people feel better being alone when they're depressed.Please help.

Answer 1

i would email him an just ask him if hes ok, just let him know your there for him if he ever needs a good chat to you, sometimes just lettin them know that your there is enough, an if he donest want your help at least you have offerd it to him
what ever you do..good luck

Answer 2

I would send him aa quick message to let him know that you care and see how he is, also let him know that you are there if he needs you. Having gone through periods of depression sometimes the little things mean a lot. Him not responding may not mean anything, times when I have felt like this, I tend not to reply to messages and things, but it is nice to know other people care.

Good luck any way

Answer 3

I would send another message along the lines, hope you ok as you haven`t replied to my last message. I`m here if you need to talk or just to get together for a coffee. If you don`t hear from him after this you will have to accept he wants to be left alone,
Just a thought could he have changed his e mail address ?

Answer 4

If you are really worried, do the last trial.
E-mail him, saying you want to get sure that he is ok, and end your message by apologizing for sending too much messages while he isn't answering, telling him this will be the last message.
I think this time he will reply. And if he was ignoring your messages he will feel guilty for doing that.

Answer 5

Nothing better than a short message just saying something entirely silly to try and get a laugh out of him. Should bring a reaction that way rather than an 'are you alright' question which may make him more depressed.

Answer 6

I know your tryin to help him out. But its true, many people like to be alone. Just give him a lil more space, then 3 days later e-mail him. And see how hes doing. Dont worry about looking like you are bothering him, cause your not going to come out like that. But then again dont just ignore him. Just give him his space, and he will let you know whats going on.

Answer 7

mail him chick,my male mates the same,a friend of ours passed away and it effected him real bad as it was his best mate,i didnt hear from him s i mailed and texed him to make sure he was ok,let him know your there if he needs to talk and he's not alone,my mate replied but then i didnt hear from him again so about a week ago i did the same and he sent me a text saying he's depressed and needs all the friends he can get,im seeing him this week to talk to him and make sure he sees someone about his problem,just be there..

Answer 8

if he's a friend then e mail him you are only being a true friend and checking to see if he is OK, if he doesn't answer this one then wait for him to get in touch as you wont want to look like a stalker

Answer 9

Yes pls e-mail him at least your word of encouragement will help him to know that someone cares for him.

Answer 10

I would send him one more message just to check on him, and show him that you care..But if he doesn't respond to it leave it alone....! Cause then i guess he doesn't want to talk to you....or anybody for that matter!!!
