  • It sounds like he needs professional help, not to be detained but to be listened, heard and supported. There’s kind and understanding professionals who can give him the help he needs and also offer support to you as well. Thoughts of suicide are really serious and they can change from thoughts to actions in a heartbeat, at which point there’s no second chances. So it’s important you get him the help he needs as soon as possible. I’ve experienced this myself and I know what a lonely place it feels like feeling like that but there is help available and though it can be a long haul you do come out better and stronger in the end. Good luck to you both. I hope things get better soon x.
