ericvermont Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 I am in a relationship with a 20 year girl and it's been about a year. She is pretty negative and usually struggles to deal with things in her life. I never saw this early on and it only surfaced after a few months into the relationship. Anyway, I figured that it's not going to work out well and decided it would be better if we'd end things. She used to casually mention that she gets suicidal thoughts sometimes which I never took seriously as I thought that she would never attempt it. But when I mentioned that it's better that we part ways and end things...She went insane. She swallowed a bunch of pills and then emailed me about it. I quickly called the authorities and her family. She was rushed to the hospital and was okay after a few days. But this is where things got even more messy, now she constantly mentions that she is suicidal and doesn't desire to live anymore. And says that she won't know how to get over me if I decided to breakup and probably won't be able to deal with it. She even went to the extent of saying that she doesn't think she would be able to live without me. Which scares the hell out of me now. I did call the authorities before and they let her go on the ground that there is only so much they can do with such cases. And her family has also had enough of her and they have constant arguments. I tried to make her get help - She went to a therapist but stopped going after a week or so saying that it's not helpful in her case since the things she wants are directly related to me. I feel extremely trapped in this situation and would really like to get some pointers from guys who have been in this situation personally. I know the general advice would be to just leave her and not contact her whatsoever but I am scared that it might drive her towards doing something stupid again. Please help...
TaintedHeart Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 I don't really know what to suggest but you sound like a decent guy, most people would do a runner and feel angry but you're obviously a caring person. Maybe you should meet up and try to calm her down, and tell her how your door will always be open if she ever needs to talk ect..
