Yes you can.

What he is doing to you is emotional blackmail: In a nutshell, emotional blackmail is a psychological-emotional ransom note that says, “if you don’t do what I want then I will make you hurt”.

Emotional Blackmail ? Out of the FOG

You did not have to do any of that. You chose to do it. Your good heart guided you in that choice, but your head did not have to go along with it.

You are under no obligation to ruin your life or your studies because of him.

You feel trapped because of the guy's emotional blackmail. You can free yourself by allowing the guy the respect and the responsibility to make his own decisions. If he is imminently suicidal by all means call 911: but do not tie your entire life to his threats.
Ditto all of this.
