Answers:
You're ex needs help beyond what you can give!. Secrets have a way of demanding attention!. And traumas have a way of replicating themselves!. The longer he keeps it buried the worse it will get!. He's probably in a lot more pain than he's letting on!.

DO NOT tell his family!. Not your job!. He can tell when he's ready!.

Not uncommon for trauma victims to believe they have a limited life span - even if they're not suicidal!. It's an indication of the unpredictibility of the world they live in!. Is he suicidal or just wanting to hurt himself!? There's a difference!. Either way he needs professional help but if he is truly suicidal take him to a hospital!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

I'd say if you are his friend you should keep him talking whenever you are around!. Can you approach his family about this!? Action now will feel better than wishing later!. Talk to a counselor if you are able maybe he or she could set up some kind of intervention that would let you feirnd know that a lot of people care!.Some people just need more caretaking that usual!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

get more information atleast abt his suicidal ideations,try talking directly with him test his insight into d problem,if he is also recognising problen den tak his consent n den tel family o directly tak professional help,but if it appears really serious,not seeing his state as problem ,has intense desire to end his life,then in dat case he need supervision n professional care too!.dat means u need to inform d familyWww@Answer-Health@Com

Let his family know!. Atleast talk to someone about it that can help him!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

sounds like the problems yoursWww@Answer-Health@Com

I had a similar problem with a friend of mine, and I agree that is a TERRIBLE position to be in!.

The most important thing is to get him help, but not to come on too aggressivee!. If you do not think that his family will be able to help him without getting toaggressivee, then it is not a good idea!. In that case, organise as many friends of his as possible and organise some kind of intervention/confrontation!.

I do believe that hte best course of action in any situation like this is to,ultimately, make him understand he needs help!. The more people close to him who tell him this at the same time!.

Hopefully I've been helpful!.
