H just texted me that he needs to go to his gym tonight because he is feeling super depressed. I texted back "ok no problem" and then followed with "I know you don't want to talk to me about it and I am trying to give you your space (and I don't want that to come off as uninterested or uncaring) but please know I am here if you want to talk"

And left it at that. He didn't respond.

Was that ok?

I am trying not to freak out and mind read that he's upset because he's stuck... But that's what I'm feeling.
