I have a friend that keeps threatening to kill himself. He lives in another state... I'm in Tennessee... he's in North Carolina. But, I really feel that he's serious about this. I don't know what to do. I can't drive 8 hours to be there for support. I've talked to him on the phone. He's had alot of things go wrong for him lately. And, he's so depressed. I've tried to talk him into going to the hospital, but he won't go. He called me just a while ago talking about what he was going to do to himself. So, when we hung up I called the police there where he lives and told them that he was threatening suicide. They told me they'd go check on him. I'm really worried, and I don't know what else I can do. Should I be doing more? I feel so helpless...

I hope I posted this in the right place.
