my best friend tried to k-ll himself, what do I do?

NSFWParent-to-Parent

I'm 15 and he's 16. We've been really really close since middle school and but especially this last year when I got pregnant and he was one of my only friends who stayed around.

He tried to text me goodbye and I didn't even see it because I was busy with the baby. I didn't know he was struggling, he comes by to help and sleeps over so I can rest all the time and he always seems so happy.

His mom found him after he tried to slit his wrists because he's gay (which I didn't even know) and they're Catholic and he just hates himself so much because of it.

That was four days ago and we've talked every day on the phone but I can't visit him in the hospital because I don't have anyone to watch the baby. I keep trying to get him to talk about himself but he just wants to hear about me and the baby and know we're OK and it scares me so much.

I love him so much and he's such an amazing person. He is my best friend and I just want him to be comfortable with himself and I don't know how to do that. I don't care that he's gay, I care that he's a good person and I love him.
