A female United Kingdom, *littleredcutiex writes:

I am feeling very helpless at the moment.My boyfriend of one year finished the relationship, saying that things werent working and he wasnt happy with the relationship, but at this moment i am not concerened about that.The night he finished it, we were talking over msn and he told me that he was going to kill himself earlier on in the day i asked why and he said he couldn't tell anyone and that i wouldnt understand, he told me he was going to go the doctors the next day.He did do, and the doctor put him on anti-depressents. I feel like he is completley shutting me out he won't talk to me about it. I think he is also shutting his family out as he hasnt stayed at home for 2 nights now. I am seeing him tomarrow, how should i be around him? please help i'm so worried about him.

also i have never properly met his mum but i'm thinking about going round on thursday to see if she knows anything, but i'm only thinking of going round if things dont go well tomarrow, does anyone think this is a good idea?

A female reader, Toria +, writes (27 September 2006):

Toria agony auntI would try to just be yourself around him tomorrow as acting different might make him uneasy, once he relaxes around you then maybe you could start by reasuring him regarding how important he is to you and how you feel about him and that you are always there for him therefore making him see he is worth something to someone I would then try to talk to him and see if he will open up to you but don't be surprised if he doesn't as this maybe a burden he has been carrying around for sometime keeping it to himself might be the only way he knows now.

I would probably talk to him mum whatever way tomorrow goes as she needs to know what is going on and you can't just carry around this burden by yourself you need other people to help with this, be prepared he may not appreciate you talking to him mum but eventually he will realise you did it with the best intensions and because you care.

Good luck :o)

Yes, you should tell his mother. It might be awkward, and he probably will get mad at you about it, but it could save his life. Suicide threats should always be taken seriously. You're better off having him mad at you than blaming yourself for the rest of your life if he actually does kill himself. Good luck.
