So my brother wants to kill himself. What the fuck do I do? [title edited by MNHQ]

I've got 2 brothers.
Years and years ago my mum said to me she was worried that one day my older brother would kill himself. I was shocked, he was married with kids and seemed happy and had an excellent career.

Now the last few years we meet with family at Christmas or weddings and he sits away from people, sometimes drinks too much (sometimes doesn't) wears the same coat (huge thing) and won't take it off despite it being very hot indoors.

Doesn't talk much and seems very very down. Today he said every time he leaves work and doesn't see day light he wants to kill [method removed by MNHQ] himself.

He said he must suffer from SAD (I agree but believe it's more than that) and asked his work to fund a Sad box which is £200 but they refused.

So I'm freaking out that my brother has reached rock bottom and going to kill himself.

He NEVER talks about feelings so I'm fucking worried.

But these sad boxes are like £20-50 so what one is he on about because I need to get him this £200 he's talking about.

Hi OP,

This sounds like a really difficult situation, and we understand you must be very worried about your brother.

Just to let you know we have very strict guidelines about threads that mention suicide. These were devised with expert guidance from mental health charities and professionals. But rather than remove your thread, we have just edited out the method, as this isn't something we can allow to stand.

All the best OP. Flowers

Hi OP,
We're sorry we can't allow these descriptions on the site. As we've said it's in our guidelines which we've devised with mental health experts. There's been some really helpful advice on here so far, and we hope the thread can get back on track with supporting you through this. Flowers
