How can I help him?

Sorry if this is in the wrong forum!

My ex boyfriend who I'm friends with, recently messaged me telling me that he now takes drugs and that life sucks. So I asked if he was okay as he'd recently got back together with a girl he'd broken up with before Christmas, so I thought things were getting better for him. But he said he was fed up and that she doesn't get it, nothing had happened specifically, but he's underwhelmed with it all. So I tried to speak to him the best that I could but he didn't reply until the eve telling me that he'd self harmed and sent me a photo. I'm really quite worried about him, I don't know or speak to any of his other friends, and he's rubbish at replying so ignores me checking up on him until his next message which for example today said he wanted to bleed out, and that I should come to his funeral. I asked where his girlfriend was and suggested she could go and see him as they're both at uni together and he said that she's often the problem, she makes him feel worthless and he felt that he has to hurt himself for her to see how much she hurts him.

As a friend I care about him and can't stand to hear that he's like this. I'm at Durham and he's at Oxford, so I just don't think I can travel down to see him, but I just don't know what to do or say to help him and I'm so concerned.

I'd really appreciate any words of advice? Thanks

There must be a helpline or something you can call. Maybe his actual university? So you can let people know about him.

Refer him to a psychiatrist, or a professional at uni...Convince him to break up with her, and at the very least offer some support if he can't. Maybe tell him to talk to family or friends? There are online communities for this stuff if he can't travel to a support group.

Thank you!

I was literally going around in circles trying to think of what to do and thinking about it all, so it's nice to actually get some other opinions
