Worried about my friend.

A very good friend of mine has got some serious problems.   And there's not a damn thing I can do about it.  Except maybe continue to be there for him.

That entry I linked alarmed me to the point that I called him up.  What was even more disturbing was that he was totally flat and uninterested.  Said he was tired of talking.  Said people were making too much of a big deal out of it.  Most chilling of all, he didn't do the one thing he always does when we talk: he didn't ask about me.  Coming from anyone else under the circumstances, I would say that would be normal.  But he ALWAYS asks how I'm doing and what's going on with me.  During this call, he didn't ask me a single question.  He seemed irritated that he had to talk to me at all.  When I wasn't talking, he didn't offer a word.  It was like he was a different person.  Honestly, I don't think I've ever heard him like this. 

He knows something is wrong.  It's obvious to us that are close to him.   And there's not a damn thing I can do about it...is there?  I guess maybe that's why I'm writing about it here; maybe someone else has some good ideas.  I'm fresh out, and terrified that somethig worse (unrecoverable) will happen.
