Input: Had an argument with a close friend of mine this evening and I just feel conflicted about the whole thing. 

For some background, we are both 24 I'm female and he is male. We dated for a few years but our breakup last year was mutual. We both suffer from depression and that was the major catalyst in the end of our relationship although everything is still practically the same between except for the emotional stuff. He checks out of the conversation anytime it heads that way. 

After our break up, I moved back home about 1,000 miles away. We text a lot, and game a lot together when we have the free time. This week I've been laid up after a minor surgery and asked him to game with me since I was bored and unable to work for 5 days, or even walk around for that matter. Yesterday he said he would hop on in a bit but he had a stressful day so he was just relaxing. I chalked it up to just a long day at work and didn't think much of it.

 A few hours later he invited me to a game but he didn't actually want to do anything, he told me that his car had been towed earlier that day and he had been dealing with that  but didn't say much else. I got quiet and he asked if I was upset and I told him "no" but he could tell. I felt like a jerk because I had pestered him when he was dealing with other stuff but I just didn't know.  He apologized for inviting me for nothing and  he said that he might be back on later but I just logged out after he did and went to bed early. 

Today I texted him and apologized about my reaction the day before and he accepted my apology but he said that I had been hurtful towards him. I told him that I would just like a little more communication because I have no idea when he works or what's happening in his life. I had to ask his roommate to check in with him a couple weeks ago because he had been really depressed, anytime I asked how he was doing I just got "eh" as a response. This had gone on for over a week and I was worried and she had noticed it too.

I expressed my concern about his depression and told him that he can't rely on weed all the time to fix things and ignoring his problems and shutting his friends out isn't going to do anything either. As hypocritical as I felt, I told him that he needs to see a therapist.

 He told me that he has been feeling introverted and doesn't want to make any commitments right now and that he doesn't owe me or anyone else a constant update. I told him that I didn't want any commitments I just want him to talk to me. I feel like I start  up a lot of our conversations and all I tend to get from him is an "lol" or "nice" unless we're talking about a subject he  brings up. A lot of it feels really one sided. (On the inside I was thinking "I've been an introvert my whole life but I still make time to tell you what I've been up to") 

Honestly, it wouldn't be such a big deal but he is my closest friend still, I live in the middle of nowhere and I work nights so my schedule never matches up with anyone near me, no one likes to make the drive up here and I can't spare the gas money to go to town all the time. My best friend ghosted me months ago so he is the person I'm closest to and most comfortable with talking to at length about anything. 

I feel awful and I'm sure he's mad at me but I don't believe I was being an asshole, or I at least hope I wasn't. I care about him and I'm worried about him. I am frustrated that I live so far away and I feel I'm just bothering him all the time but I just want to help him. I feel more useless than anything.
