Why would he say these words to me?

This guy I have been hooking up with is going through a lot. His mom is sick and he is stressed with work. Last time I saw him he told me he had a manic episode. He then said I wish you met me before I became like this. I reassured him that I like him, but now he is distant. Why would he say these words to me?
