So I've been living with a high-functionning depression and anxiety for more than 15 years. Most of the people around me know about my problems, but only in theory. I don't let them see me down or share actual problems with them.

I rarely try to make friends with people, but sometimes there is a person I like and want get close to. So there is this guy whom I've know for years, but we only recently started getting closer (I'm talking about being friends here). These days I've been really miserable, which he had probably sensed and today he messaged me to ask me what's wrong. I decided that if he's caring enough to ask me, I shouldn't hide myself, and told him nothing bad happened, but I just feel like everything is wrong. We had a brief chat, where he asked me if he can help in any way (I said I don't know if anything can help at all), told me that I when he feels bad, he likes to have a beer (I explained to him that alcohol is not recommended for people like me), etc. I tried to sound polite, rational and not desperate.

But after 10-12 messages, he just didn't respond and disappeared without saying "Bye" or anything. Now I'm afraid that I've scared or annoyed or alienated him. Was it too soon to share I'm depressed? Was I too negative towards his try to help? Should I appologize if I made him feel uncomfortable? I'm just panicking here and getting even more miserable :(
