<human>: Give me a shortened version of the text

A new friend I met at work recently broke up with his girlfriend. He is a very nice guy and he broke up with her for multiple reasons, mainly her being manipulative and emotionally abusive to him. He is very quiet about this at work (which I would expect him to be) but he mentioned he goes on a few subreddits to me and I wanted to check them out, so I did. I found a post that pretty much described his whole story, and it turns out it actually is him.

After reading through it, it is clear that he is emotionally in deep. He said he has hurt himself in a post, and just the overall theme that he is heading down a spiral. He doesn't know that I have found his account, so I don't know how to try to help him.

He has said he will be seeking therapy. His ex has also started to seek therapy, in hopes that the two of them will get back together. I know this is the most reasonable thing for the two of them to do. I just feel like there is something I can do to help him out in his time of need. 

How should I approach this? Should I even try to help or just let it run its course with the therapist?
<bot>: Friend broke up with his girlfriend, said some... dark things. Want to help, but don't know how or if I should leave it to a professional.
