suicidal thoughts are either a cry out for help or attention. Either way your friend needs to be seen by a psychiatrist ASAP!
Hello. If he is suicidal and/or homicidal, he needs immediate help. If he will not go to the ER, call law enforcement to find out about having him involuntarily committed for 72 hours, which is common in most states. He may become angry or upset, but its better than being dead or spending the rest of his life in prison or a mental hospital. I personally know someone who had similar symptoms, and began having delusions that people were demons. He killed 4 people before the police took him down. Not only must he live with the guilt, but he's likely to never leave the psych hospital except on a few hour long pass. There are treatments for conditions such as these, but it might take a bit of outside help to initiate the process. Take care, GM
No, it is a symptom of either Bipolar or schizophrenia...either way he is reaching out to you for help. Suicide should be taken seriously and needs to acted upon immediately. Is your friend under the care of a Psycharist? Just a suggestion, but, if he were my friend I would waste no time getting him to the ER. Please don't take what he is saying lightly...please act as soon as possible before he does something to himself.
Do you know any of his family? Can you contact them and let them know what is going on? His Doctor? or just take him to ER..with our without insurance, they will take him where he wil be safe until his condition is under control.
