I think your intention is in the right place but with the context of the story your grand generalizations are causing the downvotes. Calling him crazy and implying he’s insane is not correct. He’s clearly an inexperienced young man that was dealing with an expert narcissist and manipulator, likely with her own issues she takes out on other people. My first girlfriend in high school was very much like this; too many stories to count. Many of us can look back and kick ourselves for the times we allowed ourselves to be used and/or abused. Hopefully OP is getting the help he needs because the suicide attempts and self harm over a breakup point to bigger issues.
