ok this is going to sound completely and totally psycho but whatever. so 1st of all, im so in love with my boyfriend. but he really cant deal with life anymore.
hes bipolar, hears voices, has depression and a bunch of other problems. but you would never know any of this because he is the class clown and captain of the football team. he always acts really animated and pretends to be the happiest guy in the world. but hes not.
i really love him so much but he wants to commit suicide so bad. ive talked to him about it and stopped him countless times. but now hes at the point where hes at peace with dying and is ready to go. i would be devastated if he did this and i would probably take my own life. i cry about this every night and i cant stand to think about it. but this is what he wants to do and i know it is.
the only reasons hes not doing it because he doesnt want to hurt me, and hes afraid of going to hell. but heres the thing, i had this completely psycho thought of killing him. out of love, but still. i was gonna go over one day and give him a hug and kiss him, then hold a gun to his back and shoot him. i know it soundsss completely crazy, but then it would save him from going to hell, and i would go instead. and he would not worry about me being sad, because i was the one to do it and i would just put the gun to my head next anyway. i dont know if i could bring myself to kill the love of my life, but the thought that he would finally be happy and in a better place than he is at now, makes me wanna do it. but i still think i sound completely psycho so can someone help me out with this. i dont wanna kill my boy. thankssssssss
You both need to get help. Tell your parents, tell his parents, tell an authority, admit him to the hospital, SOMETHING.
By not telling anyone about how he's feeling you're making matters worse and the guilt will be more on yourself if you keep it in and he kills himself. He could potentially be mad at you for telling, but in the end he'll thank you for saving his life.

There are, however, other ways to help someone out of a depressive period like this. I should know; my fiance was the one person who got me through a point in time where I was paranoid, hallucinating and suicidal.
Make sure he gets the help he needs. See if you can get him checked into the mental ward of the hospital. That's what got me started on the right path to recovery. It sounds like he needs intensive supervision and therapy, which is what he'd get there. You can even go and visit every day to support him. Failing that, make sure he sees a mental health professional, whether that is a doctor, or a church official if you're religious.
Death is not the way out of this. I know that for him it feels like he'll be this way forever, and that he'll never get any better. I know how that feels. But there is always a possibility for improvement.
There is no need whatsoever for two young lives to be ended like this, when with some hard work, everything can be turned around and you can both live long, happy lives. [ NinjaNeer's advice column | Ask NinjaNeer A Question ]

TELL HIS PARENTS! Tell someone and get him help. This is not something he or you as his girlfriend can do anything about. If his parents aren't an option, then someone else who can get him help.
Don't make excuses about why you can't tell someone. Would you rather have him dead? Keeping his thoughts to yourself in this case is just enabling him. If you want him well then get over thinking you can come to his rescue and save him. You can't.
You don't kill someone out of love. I don't even know where one would get that idea. If he is afraid of going to hell, that's a good thing. Maybe he needs to talk to a minister or someone.
You know it is very easy for someone who is close to a person who is depressed to this extent, to become depressed themselves. With the delusional thoughts you are having, you need to seek some mental health counseling yourself. You are not thinking clearly or wisely at all. You are in an unhealthy relationship. You both need to get help. [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
bbygrl92 answered Wednesday May 27 2009, 9:48 pm: omg, its so sad that you have to go through this and that your boyfriend is feeling this way. Keep doing what your doing to try to keep him from committing suicide. Try to make him love life more. Do things that he enjoys. Make him realize that he shouldn't give up yet, He has so many people that care about him. If hes captain of the football team and the class clown, he must have alot of friends that can help him.
xemmiex3 answered Wednesday May 27 2009, 7:14 pm: BAD IDEA.
just dont. please.
if you both can just get past this bump neither of you will go to hell. neither of you will be dead. you will have a complete full happy life together. why kill both of you when you have a chance of being happy together in the future?
also, if your boy REALLY wanted to kill himself, and he was sure, then he'd do it. he probably isnt completely sure of that choice despite if says so or not. you might not think hes unsure, but chances are he has some doubts.
