Going into therapy isn't a bad thing, he's going through a tough time and needs help. Help that you at this moment can't give. That isn't that you are doing something wrong. You can help other people because you are not emotionally attached to them. You are too close to your friend, you love the person and know him before all of this, all you want is to have that back, but that is his path to travel and unfortunately you cannot help him with that. He will get back, with the right care, honestly. In the meantime all you can do is sit tight and be supportive. Although that doesn't seem like your helping it is. It is so difficult to be messed up in your mind, that you can't find a way out, just to know that the people around you love you and are there if you need them is enough. Sometimes we all have problems that our friends can't deal with. There is no shame in that, thank God for psychologists who can help and help us to see the light when it seems dark. You are in his heart and in his soul, he will get through. I know you feel helpless at the moment, but this might be for the best. Look after yourself so you can be stronger for him. He does not need to see you cracking at the moment and knowing that that is because of his problems. Be strong for him and that is the best you can do at the moment.

Sorry if that was a bit babbly.. hope you get my drift...
