Help needed

Hey, new here

First time I notice this kind of forums, pretty cool. Well, to the point. I'm here to seek advice for a friend of mine. Recently, and by recently I mean today, I ask my friend when was that he was leaving to his hometown, he toll me in 3 months. So I ask why are you really leaving, then he said because he has to take care of his dad's business. To make it short, he feels like there's no point in living, that he feels like life is just meaningless, that sometimes he just wants to kill himself. Then I ask what makes you happy, he reply with "nothing really". I said what about your best friend, he said " yeah, but he and all of you are just part of the happiness, but that doesn't mean I'm happy". I really feel bad for him, I mean he's a closer friend and to know that he thinks this way, and the way he grew up makes me almost want to cry. It's this some kind of depression, or am I just overreacting? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance . Pd: if there's any information needed, just let me know.

Hi there. Sorry your friend is in such pain. It is hard to help people if they do not want help. Get them to see a professional or offer them these hotline numbers

Hi there, sorry your friend is feeling so low, it's very hard to watch someone when they are like that. I really hope he responds to your care but remember you aren't responsible for his choices. Have you a support network to help you look after yourself? There will be people here who relate to your situation. Be kind to yourself too as that will help you support him if he accepts it.

Your friend needs to get help especially if he is talking about wanting to kill himself. Give him the hotline numbers above, see if he will go to the doctor but if you feel he is in danger then call the emergency services. It's a tough spot to be in, you are a good friend.

I believe you really are a good friend. I think your friend needs more than just a good friend though, he needs professional help. Ask him to meet a doctor, if he refuse and you think he is in danger, go call the hotline. But don’t blame yourself about what happen to him, you care about him and that is a good thing, there is nothing you need to worry about yourself

You are being a good friend and are right to worry. Give him the numbers for support hotlines and encourage him to talk to a professional. If you believe he is in danger of harming himself or someone else call emergency services.

He is one of those people that hide their feelings too well and don't accept help that often. I'm well aware that I'm not to blame myself if something happens to him, it was hard to acknowledge it but it finally sink in. I just don't know what to do at this moment other than wait and don't interfere. Thanks for the advice, I will tell him about the hotlines and hopefully he can change, even a little will be awesome .

An update: He has been better this past weeks!. Haven't seen him saying stuff like before or acting strange. The bad news, this past week we got in an argument and since then he doesn't want to talk to me, not even say hi at work. I guess he needs more time than I expected. Thanks

You are a very good friend to him, you know that?

In times of trouble, we know who the real friends are... I really hope that he will be grateful to you in the future, when he looks back on this.

This hug is for you!

And take care of yourself, too!

Even though it hurts, I think our friendship ended :/. Now we don't even talk to each other other than when we are working and I have to ask for something related to the food, and when we do talk it always ends up him screaming and me trying to calm him down. Been going to his house to hang out with his roommate. We ignore each other. Tbh, I didn't expected this to happen, since we met this year and we were cool to each other, but I just can't keep on going. I got to be honest, I feel sad for him, but a part of me is not interested anymore on his well being. I don't even look at him. He changed, and maybe I did too. Just hope the decision we both took is for our best.
