ok so...i've talked about this same friend before, but he just told me that he and his boyfriend are breaking up only after 6 months. and he's broken...i know he is. he's hiding it by typing smiley faces and stuff, but i KNOW the tricks he types to hide his pain. he lives in california and i live in hawaii, so im unable to visit him.
but anyways, he's been going through a lot: no career goal, anxiety disorders, seeing a therapist, etc.
and now he's broken and i'm scared he'll turn to drugs and alcohol like he did the last time he got dumped by someone. he sent me a message saying how he'll do good for himself and get help and start trying harder in school, but who knows what he'll actually do? i'm not there in the same state to see him change or to give him a hug...
i've already replied to him and said my sympathies, gave him advice on how to stay positive, all that..but i feel like it's not enough for him to stay safe.

If he says he wants to do better for himself, he's probably very determined to do so. The problem is that little failures and such can bring him down instantly in those type of situations. I've learned that from experience. Frequently ask him what progress he has made and congratulate him on it. Stay close. Encourage him to get back up after falling down. Just letting him know that somebody cares about him and wants him to succeed in life can do wonders. that's good. i just hope he answers m skype messages he's the time who always over reacts
