My best friend went off to college recently and when he first started he kept sending messages and videos of him being at parties and constantly getting drunk.
I haven't really been keeping contact with him after that since it got super annoying and now just recently he started sending me messages while he was drunk.
He kept saying that he doesn't feel happy anymore and only feels happy when drunk because he's a loser. He asked me not to tell anyone about it or to remind him of it and said at least twice that he felt like jumping off a bridge.
I don't know what do for him right now, I want to respect his wishes and not tell him though I am kind of breaking it by typing this.
I don't want to lose my best friend, but I feel like he might kill himself if he keeps doing this.

Your friend needs help if you really care about him you will jeopardize your friendship to help him.

Just tell him that you care about him and thinks he should seek help from campus resources. especially with the drinking, I go to college but I'm older now. I know how it is, some people get way to drunk way to much and need to get help your friend is probably one of them
Offer to go with him to see a therapist. He's really asking for help by confiding in you. Drinking isn't the problem, but a symptom. He needs professional help, but be supportive. He's not alone. Millions feel the same way he does.

Don't worry. He'll be back home very soon (after flunking out) and you can deal with him in person.
