Praying really helps. So does sending good thoughts. God may or may not exist, but thoughts are a powerful ally.

Even just talking to him helps. If you can't visit your friend, find a quiet place and just talk aloud about everything and nothing. It sounds really foolish, but it is amazing and it really helps.

(And writing letters helps also)

First thing you should do is calm down and stop thinking about it. Freaking out and possibly making a mistake in whatever activity because you're preoccupied will only get yourself hurt. Sadly, the current state you're in will only do him more harm. Ground yourself, maybe visit him, and seriously? Praying really helps. So does sending good thoughts. God may or may not exist, but thoughts are a powerful ally.

I wish I knew more of what to say, and I know what it's like to have those thoughts going through your head. If you need to talk, I'm willing to listen.
