Are you gonna be available for him this weekend? ...what could you do that might be a little different from what you would normally do?

I am thinking about this exact thing. He sounds really bad, JJ. I am trying not(and succeeding mostly) to let this get to me. (that's a difference in ME right there).

He admitted that he is worried for himself right now. While he has said this once before, I have to take it seriously because it is not typical of his nature to be THIS low. There was a good difference in our dynamic last night- he wasn't dumping on me or trying to drag me in, he was just reaching out. And he also asked me if I would be around, and if he could call (which he doesn't usually do) I don't think I should go completely dark while he's in such a bad place. I've read back to old posts and the few times he was reaching out to me this way, it has been a good thing, so long as I don't chase and worry myself into a state after him. Make sense?

My plan: IF he calls I might let it go to voice mail then return it later, or keep it short and light again, or return the call when I think he isn't home. These are all small changes from what I normally do.
What do you think? Let me have it if you think I'm wrong, or I should do something else.
