Whatever was bugging him must have eased up.

I can think of lots of jokes about wearing the same sweatpants for too long...<br /><br />I've been around too many suicides to be polite anymore. If someone is exhibiting major personality changes, waiting might be a bad policy. <br /><br />You're a good person to notice and try to help. If he's really not responding, you might have to go to someone else to intervene. Most schools have hotlines/helplines for exactly this kind of thing. Peer mentors, etc. can usually advise on how to proceed.Ms.PhDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06542602867472447035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8481001930714468704.post-54094947363275830702009-05-08T10:32:00.000-04:002009-05-08T10:32:00.000-04:00Although I don't know if he's depressive, I second...Although I don't know if he's depressive, I second Eugenie's comment. This winter, I crashed big time and since then, I've had the help of many peoples and off the 5 people helping me the most is my boss who speak a lot of story about good life lessons, this help me a lot even if they are not related to me.Lurkernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8481001930714468704.post-28544586247339312822009-05-08T09:39:00.000-04:002009-05-08T09:39:00.000-04:00I would keep an eye on him- if hanging around him ...I would keep an eye on him- if hanging around him helped him a little, perhaps you could spend more time doing that- and maybe the stuff that's bugging him will surface (Maybe get a small group dinner party stuff going?). I wouldn't suggest probing him to find out directly.Eugeniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01312243477847551650noreply@blogger.com
