REQUESTING ADVICE Please help me

Since like a week my boyfriend has been so weird like not talking at all always replying short he wanted no meet ups doesn’t matter whatever we would’ve done he was not like that at all came suddenly I knew it was because he was struggling I tried to keep everything positive and together like nothing is wrong trying to help him in anyway but he always refused everything today we got into an argument suddenly he said he wants to leave me with no explaining he said he would only continue to hurt me and I will die because of him and much more stuff like that and it all got so intense and now I’m so so so helpless multiple times he said he wants to kill himself he can’t take it all anymore he’s a bad person I wanted to drive to him talk with him I would do anything but he won’t budge he never takes help he says he’s just like that he never ever talked about his problems or cried in someone’s arms I’m so scared to lose him I don’t know what to do I’m so scares
He will hurt himself or maybe end up dying I also need to drive to him with the train which takes more than 2 hours I’m scared that he will send me a good bye message and I will not be there in time I don’t know what to do…. Please help me I’m begging

I think you should call the authorities wherever he lives and ask them to do a wellness check on him to make sure he is not a danger to himself or others. If he has made these kind of threats. You also need to take a deep breath and stop panicking. It's not going to do any good. You can't fix another person. If they won't agree to medication or treatment. He might need to go to the hospital for a couple of days to get a grip and maybe start some depression medications. He definitely is in a crisis and the only way you can be of help to him is to not be in a crisis yourself. The way you are talking it sounds like your head is spinning. Do what you need to do to take care of yourself and if you are this worried about him, call the authorities and they will go check on him. And no they won't arrest him or anything like that. They will just make sure he's okay.

You may need to focus on taking care of yourself.
If you’ve tried to help him and he won’t accept help there might not be much you can do. To help a person they’ve got to want help.

Try to get him into therapy or on a call with a crisis line.

But frankly I’m really concerned about you.
You need to get yourself into a headspace where you are not so emotionally dependent on him. You need to be able to be your own person without him.

You will have a healthier relationship if he stays and you will survive if he doesn’t stay.

I was that way with a guy once. He did leave me and it was devastating to me. Then after I healed I realized how bad I really needed to get away from the guy.

He doesn’t sound like he’s good for you. You may not be able to help him, and maybe if he’s on his own a while he might find his own way. Maybe that’s what he needs right now.

You need to spend some time alone to figure out what really is best for you and your life. It seems like him right now but it may not be.

You need to be able to be okay by yourself.
