Is he just ignoring me? Should I say anything more?

[girl94]

I'm really confused and frustrated about one of my guy friends. Really great, and the best of friends, but I don't know what happened. It's like he's stopped responding to my texts. Usually I have to not-text him for two days or so and then he'll start texting again. Ok, the problem is that I was worried a few nights ago my mom overdosed on pills trying to kill herself, she's been recently depressed, gone through some hard things to get her so depressed.
Before I found this great site, I was before in a text convo with my friend, and then I brought up the situation briefly, just asking advice on how to handle it. I was a tad desperate and scared that night. He gave me great advice, but I felt like it might have been too much for him to handle. He got me in a better mood, told me not to worry about it, take a break from despair (which in a context sort of hurt my feelings) but I knew he meant it positively. I just never wanted him to feel like he was my counselor or anything. I really care about him, I wouldn't use him like that.
I don't what's going on, he hasn't replied, even when I just texted something simple like a hey or hi. Ok to be honest, he's an extremely busy guy, got alot on his plate, but he nearly texts me everyday, now it's sort of stopped. I just hope nothing's wrong...

I would maybe send him a text. Are you alright?

If he doesnt respond, then let it be. Dont text him anymore, Im sure he will eventually text you after a short break.

As you said, he has alot on his plate and you seem to respect that so just give him alittle room - he might just be really busy the past week or so.

Hope all turns out well.

Best wishes,
Chris
