OK. My friend, let's call him Mr Z. I went out with him a few monthes back. We broke up, he was fine with it, so this is not the culprit. Today, I was talking to him on MSN, and he randomly says "I tried to hang myself." He's always been masochistic. Running into things, beating himself up, just basically hurting himself ALL THE TIME. Then mentions that he's planning on trying it again sometime. I just tell him what I think of this and he calls me some sick names and tells me he knows he's selfish and that he doesn't care, and tells me to screw off basically. Anyway, I have his phone number. Should I call from a payphone and say to his Mother "Keep an eye on him, or you WILL LOSE HIM, and DO NOT tell him I called." or do I just let him work it over himself? I know sometimes reaching out to someone in that state makes them even more manic and determined to do it. So should I just leave it be? Or should I call his family and tell them to watch out? Help much obliged.. thanks.
