My friend has been considering suicide over OCD

Hey there. Just so you know, I don't have OCD, but my friend does and is having suicidal thoughts over it.

I met my friend online, and we regularly communicate through Animal Crossing New Horizons. He's a big Animal Crossing fan.

Recently, he's been having intrusive dirty thoughts (OCD) about his favorite Animal Crossing games, New Leaf and City Folk/Let's Go to the City. He loves those games so much that he thinks he can't live without them, and wanted to die when he had to stop playing them.

His parents have put him on OCD medicine but he thinks it is ineffective (which I doubt).

There's been several other moments where he wanted to kill himself (e.g. breaking his headphones at the start of 2025), but this feels like the most serious.

Me and his other friends have been convincing him not to kill himself, but he really wants to die because of his OCD. My last resort was to ask Reddit for help, and here I am.

Thanks for reading my little story.
