my problem is that im working away at the moment and find it hard to get in touch with him. he used to be online all the time and we could chat but now he never comes online. he wont answer the phone but does reply to the occassional text. he wont tell me exactly how hes feeling, unlike previous times where he has been feeling down or low, and just puts everything down to being busy at work. he runs his own business and i know that there he s functioning well but he has completely closed off from all his friends. myself and a couple of his other close friends are trying to keep an eye on him and one friend in particular has said she will call into his shop and try to get him to open up.she has told me that the last time she spoke to him he was almost back to the same condition that he was in 2 years ago before he was diagnosed and put on medication. i feel so useless here. i send him a text message almost everyday with a light and friendly message to try to let him know that im here if he needs me and that im thinking about him, but i dont know if im doing the right thing. however, it seems to be the only thing i can do.
