We were supposed to meet for lunch today, he wanted to text me today around 11 am to set an exact time (we agreed on that last night). The day passes and I don't hear from him. I text, call, IG DM, nothing.
I show up to his house after work to check in, nothing. It was honestly so out of character for him. Went with a friend to his workplace to casually ask if he's in tonight (normally he's off mondays) and just before that around 9:15 pm he responds to our texts: turns out he became sick overnight, slept the whole day and thought he had cancelled but was probably still half asleep so didnt actually press send.
This was such a rollercoaster of emotions. I kept wondering am I doing too much? But I feel like it's better to be safe than sorry, you also never know if someone is struggling with their mental health but hiding it, or they could even fall victom to a crime.
I'm still not 100% sure if I buy his story, so I just went to his house again to physically see that he was okay. That's all I could do for now as he didn't want company overnight. Just makes me wanna check in with friends even more
