My fiance just told me that he's having suicidal thoughts. How do I help him?

You really do need to get him help no matter what he says. What is worse, having somebody die in the end or having them mad at you because you got them help? I'd choose the second one over the first if I were you. You never know with people. What if he has a bad day one day and everything goes wrong, then what? So you really do need to get him help even though he doesn't want it. Most people just don't realize what good it will do them in the end to get help from someone. You really don't want this to end horribly, do you?

Talk to him about the relationship, his life, his personal problems. Try to be there for him. If need be, get some professional help. Its the only way. Bu you must always make yourself available for him whenever he wants to vent or talk. Never let him feel abandoned or unloved in any way.

I have helped people thru this before.

Pretty much what you need to do before going to a psychologist is just to talk to him and listen to what he has to say. Let him lean on you alittle bit. dont get upset if he starts describing some of his suicidal thoughts with you. just except them and move on with another topic. For some people that cared about my option alot i told them this "If you commit suicide i will not go to your funeral because i would feel disgraced if i went". I know that is really harsh but it helps people realize what they are talking about and how stupid it is to kill themselves.

Pending on how YOU feel will depend on how far you need to take things. If you dont think you can handle his thoughts and things you might need to go to a psychologist\social worker and have him talk to them. But you need to be there for him as much as you can. dont force him to talk. That will just drive him away more you need to just be open to him and just start a conversation and see where that goes.

If stress is a problem you need to identify it and see if you can knock that out of his life. if not help him deal with that stress.

I am a full time student working 35+ hours a week with a Girlfriend. My life is constantly stressful but i have learned how to deal with my problems by working out or playing video games to get away from the world for a lil bit and then come back refreshed.

I dont know much more to say but I hope this helps. Please let me know if i can help you anymore. My email address is jbenedict2006@yahoo.com or you can contact me with Yahoo messager. I am normall on it alot.

you're no longer a doctor if is authentic that he desires expert help, so do no longer even attempt; that's previous you. In all honesty, it extremely is all a grasp manipulation. he's egocentric and self serving and is threaten you along with his suicidal baloney so he can get HIS way. of direction he will by no skill do it by way of fact that's all and act. those that are excited approximately committing suicide do no longer positioned up in on MY area, he grew to become into basically attempting to get your interest and he have been given it. it extremely is the extra serious style of blackmail and that i advise which you tell his family members of what he's doing to you. positioned somebody else in cost, he would be embarrassed by using all of it i'm valuable. I had too a bf that usually threatened with suicide if I left, I have been given uninterested with it and that i informed him that i grew to become into unlikely to stay threaten or manipulated. I informed his older sister approximately it and informed his kinfolk that it grew to become into no longer my accountability to post with that crap. He of direction, by no skill did something to injury himself, he grew to become into crammed with crap. those that are suicidal by no skill say something to all of us, if he extremely is, I advise you connect with the community police branch and tell them that he's a possibility to himself, yet i actually think of hi is immature and co-dependant and is manipulating you, good success

Please call the National Suicide hotline and ask them for help..they are trained in this area and may have an answer for you. Good Luck..
