Not sure of this helps, I've never been in your shoes. Please take care of yourself, yes you want to be a good friend, but you want to look after yourself too
"Tim" tells me that actually, my friend tried committing suicide in his bathroom, but wouldn't talk about it and stopped talking to "Tim" about everything when he "found out" that "Tim" was a "puppet". So he's tried harming himself in the past.

I've tried convincing him its all in his head...but as opposed to how he was with "Tim", he believes I'm not a puppet but that I'm wrong about it all being in his head.
