Urge him to seek psychiatric assistance. And be there for him but also making sure you have the space and capacity to! Sometimes we take on more than we can handle. Wishing nothing but the best for you and your friend!

Men seek to be appreciated more than they seek to be understood. I don’t know your friend personally, but people need him. Jesus needs him alive, for what, I don’t know, but I’ve lost many friends/coworkers to suicide, and because they killed themselves none were there for me in my lowest moment, so if you can manage to pass on the vibe of that message, that there are men out there like him that will need his help, you won’t only help save him, but everyone he is able to help save living.

this but also see if you can find a network of people to help with this because you should absolutely not try to support on your ur own

Call 988. They are the national suicide hotline and they’ll be able to advise you on what to do.
