wow. I must say I'm thoroughly appalled by the responses. That's a fairly serious matter, obviously which seems to be taken more as a joke. There needs to be more empathetic people in the world. It tends to bring understanding. Anyways, people who are suicidal and depressed need all the help they can get which isn't saying anything that isn't very obvious. But take it easy and slow. Just ending the relationship could have drastic impacts on both lives and many others. Find someone you wouldn't mind talking to about the issue and seek their full advice. Take it all to heart. You are in a fairly powerful position if that person is dating you. You might be able to convince them to get help. A lot of people don't want to admit the problem and want it to be seen as just a phase, but at the same time want to be taken seriously. My guess is that no one is trying to understand this person becuase the cry for help is continuing. And I'm guessing not improving, maybe even getting worse. See if you can get them to reach out to someone else other than you, like a professional. They won't lock them up and throw away the key. I've been there once myself. They may be suffering from panic disorder which no one is understanding, or bipolar disorder or something else that they just need a simple medication and therapy sessions. Try to help them get to the root of the problem, but put your own health first, don't put yourself at risk too far in this situation. Try and find help immediately.

here's a website that might offer better advice and where you can find someone.

also feel free to message me if you need anyone to talk to.


I dont take this as a joke
NO one realy does, but it is a very touchy subject these days. My 15 year old daughter`s best friend stabbed herself last week after a fight with her boyfriend. They lived. So it`s no joke.

I'm not sure there is any one easy answer, depending on their personality and circumstances. Do it with compassion, sensitivity, and with love, if at all possible; but, take care of yourself, first. You are hurting and suffering a loss, too. Just remember that they are responsible for their own choices and actions, not you. If you suspect they may be suicidal or they tell you they are, call 911 or ask a friend or family member to take them to the Emergency Department of their closest hospital.

That can be true. I just can't see myself doing that. For one I usually care too much.And another...I know exactly what that person is feeling. I've thought about killing myself many times in my life.

Have you had any psychotherapy or seen a psychiatrist about these feelings and thoughts? Have you ever tried it or had a plan? How often have you thought about it?

If you have never spoken to a professional about it, it might be a very good idea.

Love & LIght~

I've had many suicidal thoughts and I've had depression issues my whole existance on this sh*t planet. But it's never been over a woman or relationship gone bad.

I'm just a morbid soul now :)

Breaking up is a little harsh don't you think? Someone who is suicidal is in serious need of emotional support. What do you think a break up on top of everything else is going to seem?

People with depression need to be reassured that they are loved. I know first hand


Why should someone be forced to stay in a relationship just because of how the other person feels? You just put the whole issue of breaking up and what the person might do on his/her head. If this person is having suicidal thoughts, they need help. I would hope that the person's family knows and possibly help encourage him/her to get the help they need. However, you can't force the person to get help. They have to want the help too. I know, I lost someone because even though she had received help, she still didn't want it.

Sure it helped a little bit. That and a steady dose of marijuana are really the only things keeping me sane right now. I can't really feel happyness until I leave my past behind and move away.

Dude, the meds ain't gonna work the way they're supposed to as long as you keep doing that crap. You could be feeling a helluva lot better!

Think about getting into a MICA or Dual Diagnosis program, maybe? The choice is yours.

That's bullsh1t! ....and you know it.

Fix that stinkin' thinkin'. What are the reasons you are NOT disposable? You know. think

What gives anyone else the right to put a value on your existence - except yourself.

Value yourself.

You have the answers within you as to why.
