Does my boyfriend need help?

Question

me and my boyfriend have been going out for about two weeks now, and i already love him to bits, but me and his best mate beth are getting seriously conserned about him. i knew, before we started going out, that he had anger problems, etc. but almost every night now, he says how he wants to die. and looking through his phone last night, i found a picture of his arm with the words 'fatty' carved deeply into his skin, even though he weighs 5 stone and has an eating disorder.

the thing that worried me most, was when he told me that he kept hearing a voice in his head that followed him around everywhere, and told him he was fat, and stupid, and he should kill himself. and that it keeps tellinghim to kill his best friend.

i KNOW that he isnt mucking everyone around, ive known him long enough to know, but seriously, what should i do :(

please msn me? or email me if you can ; [e-mail]

thanks x

Answer 1

take him to an anger management meeting or a therapist. also ask him if he thinks hes fat, if he says yes ask him if he wants to go on a diet... to help him, go on the diet too (not saying you're fat,i dnt no u) . also workout and give him lots of compliments about him, his body, the way he acts , everything! *best of luck!*

Answer 2

He needs to get some SERIOUS help. Try to find him a therapist that can get him the help he needs.  

Answer 3

He DEFINITELY needs help.  He has serious self-image and anger management issues - those aren't going to go away on their own.  Just being extra nice to him won't solve it.  He needs counseling, immediately, before he hurts himself, you, or someone else.

Please please please tell everything you just told us to a parent, teacher, counselor, or police officer.  If you love him so much, please make sure he gets the professional help he needs, instead of letting him drown in pain.
