Hi there, Hopefully I can find some help here. I have years and years of experience with depression and helping others and myself deal with the condition.

As everyone knows, treating a 12-year old is far, far different from treating an adult.

I clearly can't help this child on my own, and this is VERY serious.

This person chatted with my while playing a game online.. I'm sure this isn't the first time the story has started out like this.

I chatted with him about the game and he wanted to be able to chat and play again, so I gave him my account info so he could send me a message.. It's only been a few days since we first chatted. He quickly wanted to talk over skype, and I said ok.. Of course, when he calls I find out he's only 12.. We talked for a few minutes and I requested that he have his mother's permission before we chat any longer.. So he asked his mom, I talked to her and she was fine with it...

This is fairly urgent, so I need to skip forward and leave out the details that can wait.

Basically he says he doesn't deserve to live, that he's a worthless piece of ****, that he's useless, etc. While playing games he gets angry and says how he wants to kill that guy that won, amongst other colorful, hateful, really horrible things.

Major contributing factors: He says he was "bullied" in school and hasn't been back since.. That was (I'm estimating) almost 2 years ago. His father took him away at some point and his mother had to get him back with legal assistance. Only supervised visits with the father are allowed. He is supposed to be participating is some type of home-schooling, however this isn't happening. He has no regular schedule, stays awake for more than 24 hours, and is fixated on games the entire time, only leaving his room (once, maybe twice a day) to eat. He may fall asleep at noon one day, 4 am the next, and maybe 4 pm 36 hours later.

From the little I know so far, and my best description is some type of sociopathic behavior, borderline personality disorder, bipolar disorder, and/or ADHD.

I have tried to be careful, I expected him a respond a certain way, and he definitely behaved as I expected.. Change the subject. Redirect the question, ignore, push me away, make me feel guilty, etc.

I reached my limit earlier today.. The outcome is lose/lose at this point. I will find it very difficult to deal with myself if I have to let him go. I know something bad will happen if I remove myself and he doesn't get any help. If I can avoid it, I'd prefer not to have to live with that.

Please point me in the right direction if you can not help directly! Thank you! John
