Should I say something to this previous hook up?

I have someone I hooked up with previously, and I heard through a friend of a friend that he was having a very tough time with something very personal. Something that extremely few people go through and not something that is really ever talked about. I however have been through the exact same struggles. I see him on occasion in passing. Do you think I should say something to him about it? I kinda had a gut feeling that this was true when I first met him (just because I recognize my own wounds and my own song and dance when people unknowingly ask about the subject) but it wasn’t the right circumstances to say anything, and I know that when I was going through this I wanted nothing more than to know that someone, anyone else out there has gone through the same things. Do you think he would appreciate knowing someone else has been knocked down just as many times as him or would it be overstepping myself?

(the subject is being fired many times over from only being at jobs a few months at a time and trying to find yourself and your career post college)
