Boyfriend is going to kill himself!
Anyone that has had experience with this please your advice is highly appreciated!
My boyfriend (he just turned 21) of 1.5 years has had depression and anger issues for a very long time but 7 or 8 months ago he finally went on depression medication. Things got better until recently when he mentioned he felt ngrylike it stopped working for him and he got his dose upped. Now two weeks later today he blew up over a conversation we were having and was very mean and i told him this is an instance in which he needs to step back and see how angry he gets over unreasonable things. He now tells me dont worry your life and everyone elses will be better off without me and I'm going to isolate myself from the world for a week so dont talk to me. I made him call me and told him i loved him and I wanted to talk to him and he said he would call me later. I asked him if he was going to be okay and he said i dont know, and I told him i wasnt hanging up until he promised he was and he said he promises to call me later.
Then he sends a similar message to his sister that he hates his life and cant take it anymore and is done with everyone in it and it will soon be over. She texted me this and I'm at home he lives like 30 minutes away but I dont know what to do because he turned off his phone and wont answer my calls. She told me she told her dad to go find him and apparently he did, but he still wont answer his phone and I have no idea whats going on and his dad being there doesnt give me much relief because he has a lot of pills in his room so he can easily do something while his dad isnt looking and I'm really scared and don't know what to do, I cant focus on anything today except this! What can I do and even if he doesnt do anything today what can i do to help him!?? Hes told me I do and im the only reason he hasnt tried suicide yet but what he said today is not okay! HELP!?

You need to tell a responsible adult what is going on. Your boyfriend is in a lot of pain, and he needs to go get help. He might have to be placed in a special institution until he's safe to go home. You seem like a great caring girlfriend, and your boyfriend needs your support along this difficult journey. Let him know that you have his back, and you'll support him no matter what. Tell him how much he means to you, and that's the reason you told someone, because you don't want him to get hurt. When someone is suicidal they can't see clear, and they are totally hopeless and helpless. They don't believe that things will get better. That's why they resolve to suicide. Only someone from the outside can help them understand that it is only temporary. You're young, and you shouldn't carry this heavy burden on your shoulders. Let the professionals take over. They will take care of your boyfriend, and teach him methods of coping with his awful pain. He will probably reject you at first, and he'll be really really angry, but in the end, you will save his life, and one day he'll realize that and be eternally grateful.
Good luck and take care :)
