A friend of mine is depressed. We talked over the phone and could tell he is in a bottomless pit of nothingness.
I feel so useless.
How do you work with that?
I know it is not entirely my fault, maybe not my fault at all, but still. Now, I wish that I had kept in touch more. It is weird because I recall talking to him a few months ago and he asked me the typical questions he always does. Everything seemed fine.
The reason for his current mood is that he gained forty pounds in a year.
He also mentioned that I owed him not one but apparently two movies at the theater but then said that he did not want me to see him. He said, "We should rent the same movie and watch it at the same time while on the phone."
He kept talking about who would want a 190lb guy and how all his friends are either busy or are not single. Meaning they were constantly busy with work and other commitments. He is really lonely.
He told me he would try to walk his dog to the mailbox tomorrow.
I didn't tell him, but I will call him tomorrow.
Maybe it will help.
Because I know how horrible loneliness feels.
