So this is a new situation for me, someone I've known for about 5yrs from playing games online with a few buddies, we've gotten to know each other really well but never met in person.
Anyhow, I think he has bipolar disorder and has once checked in to a psychiatric facility, he seemed good for a while but today I got this on facebook:

For the past month, on and off, I've been somewhat suicidal. I've powered through it, but I just can't anymore, dude. I've been to a psychiatric hospital; I'm thinking of checking myself back in sometime soon.
I wound up putting a knife to my abdomen this morning, took 7 Seroquel, and slept for 15 hours straight.
I just wanted to let you know, any support would be appreciated.

To say the least I'm very alarmed and told him all the things I could think that were the right thing to say; any suggestions by anyone who's dealt with bipolar's or someone in his state would be deeply appreciated.
