Hello my name is Kraklypig and I am a qualified mental health nursing in the uk.I have joined this website because as a young teenager I remember that I would often be seeking advice on life and love but never got any serious answers from search engines or blogging.I am open to questioning for advice on mental health illness including suicide,depression,delusions/hallucinations,disorders etc.Also have put much thought and research into love,death,heart break,the meaning of life,drugs,alcohol,age,change and everything else.Of course I cannot give you all the answers.I can only give my opinions/education/research on any matter.
I will never be judgemental and will always try to give as informative a response as I can.
Feel free to ask anything as freedom is becoming harder and harder to come by these days.

my boyfriend has been hearing voices since 8th grade. we are both in 11th now and it has gotten worse. he says that now he has to 2nd guess if someones actually talking to him or if its just in his head. its driving him crazy and he wants to get high all the time to escape it and he just attempted suicide last night. he wont listen to me and i tell him to get put on meds for it and he says meds numb u 4 real, you cant feel anything let alone hear anything and i dont wanna be numb id rather be dead. so now im terrified because i really feel like hes an inch away from killing himself and i dont know what to do because you cant help someone who doesnt want to be helped and he doesnt see his mom anymore and his dad doesnt take him seriously. please help i cant lose the one n only guy ive ever loved.

After a long period of taking narcotics as you say your bf has been doing,many people suffer mental health problems such as hallucinations and and delusions(hearing voices).It really would depend on the lengh of time he has been taking the drug although people react differently.On the other hand considering these voices started in 8th grade he may quite easily have a serious mental health deseise such a schizophrenia which among it's symptoms certainly involves the type of desusional voices your boyfriend has been hearing.Statistics show that these sort of mental health deseises occur between the 13 and 25 however they can occur at any age.A tough family background or just life in general can also have these effects.Stress is another can be another key factor so perhaps you should find out if he is under a high level of stress atm due to maybe school work,family,friendships,bullying.Anything particularly negative.I am a qualified nurse in the UK however am not liable to make any assumptions as to what may be ailing your bf.I see young people in this predicament everyday and even suffered from delusions when i was growing up due to drugs and depression.Help must be found for your bf and i strongly recomend you suggest he at the very least see a school counciler etc because they will be able to put him in touch with further help if needed.If his suicdal tendencies continue then you must speak out about his current illness to your or his parents.A good peice of advice to follow is to keep and eye out for any sudden changes in his mood for example if suddenly he appears happy and at peace or if he takes a sudden plunge further into his depression it may be a clear tip off that that is the day he may try to commit suicide.Reassure him he isnt alone because not only are millions of other people in the same situation he also has people who care deeply for him such as your good self.
Good luck to you and your boyfriend and truly hope that he comes round to getting help.
