And even though I never knew him in real life, I'm worried becausee he was one of my best friends. And no one can contact him... I'm very worried about him...

wow...do you you know why? maybe he is gone 4 a while, wait a couple days first. im really sorry about that...

I agree with jackle o lanturn, I'm so sorry Owl... that ain't right

This is difficult if you can't get in touch with him, I really wish that you'd posted this while you were speaking.

Unfortunately, if he's out of contact, there really isn't anything that you can do besides try to contact his other friends or family.

Normally when someone comes out and says they're feeling suicidal, they're really looking for attention and a reason not to do it.
It's when someone is very quiet that you really need to worry about them.

I am sorry about your friend, let's hope that he's just taking a break.

I wish he's kidding, but we (me and everyone of another forum he was on) are very worried...

EDIT: YAY! He didn't commit suicide! Here's what he said:

Then I was triggered by some feeling that suicide was the only way out. Though, when I got out the pistol, it snapped in two. I realized that this must have been a sign.

I had been sobbing and pondering for a few hours, in the shower, about everything that has happened though out my life and I think that, that moment, had been a spiritual experience. For a reason, I feel more connected with my religion and know why I am here. I refreshened my spirit.

Once again I deeply apologize to all of you. I hope to earn all of your respect back again. Please forgive me for my actions, I love you all like best friends.

Keep monitoring him and if you have contact with anyone who can reach him offline, please make sure that they are aware of the situation.

Even though he's changed his mind (Thank goodness!), it sounds like this is a case of depression, which is easily controlled.
He does NOT have to feel that way.

This is a serious condition, and I want to be certain that he doesn't give into those feelings again.

Although the "gun snapped in half" part sounds unlikely. Which makes me wonder if he's telling the truth or just looking for sympathy.
I would suggest that he speak to a psychiatrist, they're not nearly as bad as most people think and can help so much.
After all, they chose that profession because they care about how others feel.

I am very glad for you to hear that your friend is still alive and might be thinking differently (in a good way) about life.

I completely agree with suggesting for your friend to see a therapist or psychologist... and beware, I'm about to get a little ranty.

Seeing a therapist or psychologist isn't as much of a waste of time as most younger people love to assume. They think it's nothing more than some person sitting with a notepad going "mm-hmm, and how does that make you feel?" and trying to prescribe pills. It isn't at all like that, really. Sure, most will offer some kind of drug therapy depending on the type of depression or anxiety a patient is experiencing, but that's standard. Sometimes medication is the best option to control an irrational mind, seeing as a person might not be able to control themselves. (Note: especially anxiety, even relaxing and focusing on a different thought is not completely effective in reducing heart-rate or maintaining balance in other bodily functions)


Some advice for your friend:

Talk about the problems and concerns going through your head!
The more you keep it in, the worse it gets. Friends are usually very good about helping you to find ways of resolving your problems or giving you insight as to why you might feel a certain way. Don't be afraid to open up... so many kids and teens make themselves depressed because they think they cannot open up, or they don't want to open up -- and then poo poo it when their parents don't know what to do, so they throw their reluctant child into therapy which then only has a small shot of working.
(Therapy works better when you're WILLING to give it a go. And as SiLK said, there's not a thing wrong with going in. Therapists and psychologists have earned a bad rep, and I see so many kids go in and do nothing but disrespect those people trying to help)

If your friend lives in a college town, or near one -- they usually have psychology departments that have graduate students that work with people young and old for a very reasonable price (or at least probably cheaper than going to an independent psychologist's office). I was seeing a therapist while I was attending college, which I do believed helped me out quite a bit. She was around my age group, so of course I felt a little more comfortable about opening up.
Or, if your friend is still attending high school or middle school -- they definitely have counselors to talk to.

I suppose that is the biggest thing -- don't be afraid to talk! It might be saddening to learn that you are not the only one to be going through these feelings, of course it's different in everyone's perspective.. but you are not alone. People anywhere and everywhere are willing to step up to say, hey, you'll be okay! People care about you, even if you don't know.
