Hi all
There is something that is worrying me - my best and oldest friend Dan who i have known for 9 years appears to have quite abruptly cut contact with me – for no seemingly obvious reason. I met him at Uni and we have kept in touch ever since, even through my coming back home, some 150+ miles away.
I go and visit him every few months (or rather, he picks me up - he drives from his place, all the way to mine and back again in a single day) and I feel we have a really deep personal bond – we talk about intensely personal things that I don't talk to any one else about and I'm sure it's the same for him.
Now, the last time we met up was the beginning of October, and we had a good time (we went to Gordon Ramsay's Restaurant in London, saw Elbow live at the Roundhouse in Camden Town and Tracy a mutual friend of ours 'did me up', makeup and all – its was great!) – and ever since then I've tried calling him, sending him text messages and emails and I've had absolutely nothing back bar one text message a week ago which basically said that he's feeling down and will call me "if he feels up to it".
This is so totally unlike him – we would usually chat every weekend for hours at a time about what's going on in ours lives but since this last visit there has been no communication whatsoever. I have spoken with my other friends who live down there and they say he seems fine.
I'm concerned about his wellbeing but I'm also worried that I might have done or said something that has really upset or offended him and he didn't feel he could raise it with me – though in all honesty I can't think of what that might be.
I am going to take the bus down there next weekend in the hope of seeing him – I will see some other friends while I'm down and maybe stay with them or go into a hotel – see, I would usually stay with Dan. I just hope, pray and wish he calls me before I leave.
I don't know what's going through his head and he wont let me in and I'm worried – what should I do?
