I apologize if i made any typos, english is not my first language, i speak spanish, but he only speaks English, which makes comunication with him a lot harder.
I was talking to him today in an online chat, he broke up with his boyfriend and, long story short, he said he knows he is going to die, he said he hates himself, he never told me about this, he mentioned he made someone kill himself, i care for him, he’s one of the nicest guys i’ve ever met online, how can i provide help to him? He made so much for me and i want to provide help to him, i’ve tried to talk to him but he keeps telling me he is suicidal, he’s already cutting himself, is there something i can do? Edit: I forgot to say this, but he’s only 15, I don’t want to cause any damage to him, i am trying what i can to protect him, he told me that this could be his final week to live, I seriously feel so sorry that this kind of stuff is happening to him

Hey man, srsly sorry 2 hear abt ur pal. Things seem rly rough rn. But remember, u ain’t qualified to give him the help he needs. Asap, insist he contacts a professional, like a hotline or therapist. If u know his real life deets, don’t be afraid to reach out to someone who can step in. Showing love & support is key, but don’t try to be the expert. Ur role is friend, not doc. Stay strong, both of u. 💪💜🙏
Edit: Don’t forget to prioritize ur own mental health too in all this broseph. It’s ok to feel overwhelmed. It’s not on you to fix him – a professional should be the one to do that.
I’ve been in this situation before, and it’s very fragile. You can try all you want but ont allow it to affect your mental health. You can only do so much. Don’t let it affect you. Try but don’t lose yourself with him or her
Dude, straight off this is real heavy shit. These kind of things are beyond most of our paygrades on Reddit, much as we might wanna help. UR friend needs professional help, like right now. Call suicide hotline ASAP and explain whts happening. They got pros to handle these situations. It’s hard bro but stay strong for your friend. He needs U. U gotta understand there’s only so much U can do, but getting him connected with professionals is crucial. Don’t shoulder it all alone, m8. Here’s a hug for you (virtual hug). Praying for you both 🙏.
try to talk to him and tell him about what he could do
I talked to a suicidal guy once and talked him out of it he decided that in future he would help others
talk to him about how much he matters
