To confess, and to get this on the table, and to tell him before he finds out himself...

Validate him then support him, "I can see how thay would make you feel overwhelmed. How can I help you?"
There is a expression when you wait tables called "I'm in the weeds." Meaning you just got triple sat, order is up, and you need to run a credit card. So whoever was running a little slower would ask, "how can I help?" Just a hand to get you out of the weeds.
What if he says "nothing" or "I don't need any help!" which is what I expect him to say. I did send him a short email that asked that. we've had a problem that even when I try to be supportive or helpful he brushes me off.
I know that I am not going to be helping when I tell him the truth. He's going to have a meltdown. And not even because I didn't tell him but because he can't cope with anything.
