Self-harm/Suicide warning. Need advice on how to deal with an extremely difficult situation I'm currently struggling with. 28 male here from Ireland and currently trying to cope with 3 of my closest friends moving to Australia in the past few months. As a group of friends in the past 4 years we'd suffered two suicides in our close friend group and we have been trying to move on with our lives and cope as best we can by supporting each other. We all try in our own ways me and another friend focused on playing music together and as for the other three they decided to move to Australia in the hopes of a better life there. It's difficult having them move away but I'm happy for them. But the issue that is currently eating away at me on the inside is one of the men who has moved away is mentally ill. And has been for years well before the first suicide. He has an issue with alcohol which brings his mental illness to the forefront and refused to see any kind of specialist or counsellor or therapist while in Ireland and it was the responsibility of us as a group of friends to help him whenever the issues flared up whether it be at a house party, in the pub or even getting phonecalls at 6am saying he had a noose in his hand. All of this stuff has been a reoccurring thing for years now and I feel it is far beyond anything I'm equipped to deal with. I don't what I'm supposed to say to a person in that frame of mind. We as a group have tried to support him, encourage him, recommend seeing a specialist, advised him to stop drinking, to stop doing drugs but it all falls on deaf ears until somebody else has to deal with a situation and it all repeats over and over except he doesn't change and everybody in the group gets a fresh dose of anxiety and fear. Now he lives in Australia the opposite side of the world to me and his habits haven't changed one bit and might in fact be worse and I am powerless to do anything. I feel like any day now I'm going to get that phonecall to say he did it and I don't know what I'm supposed to do or feel in my everyday life with the treat of another one of my friends taking his own life looming over me. Apologies for the colossal post and thanks in advance.
