I Need Urgent Help

[A Fellow Lighter]

My .. the girl I'm with is hinting at committing suicide if I leave her. What do I do?

Make then say it then screen shot it.

Tell her to get ifs therapy

I've had that. It's tough but in the end you can't stay with her just because of that.

Try to comfort her. Usually it's an empty threat that will pass.

You have to assess how serious the threat is.

No I cannot.

How do I do that exactly? How did you do it? And how were you certain of your assessment?

I'm angry that she's playing the suicide card with me. She's so selfish. Her selfishness is the reason I want to leave her in the first place.

She is playing the suicide card. I had my ex do that to me that caused me to be with him twice. It caused me a lot of suffering. 

Don't fall for it. It's a huge red flag. 

When it's time to leave make it final.

It's likely a trauma response caused by a fear of being abandoned. It might just be an empty threat, but it's still important to handle this carefully.

I want to make it clear, with as much compassion as possible - you are not responsible for the actions she takes in her life.

Most people who want to commit suicide don't actually want to die - they just want to end their current circumstances. Usually due to frantic, overwhelming, distress & pain. They see no other solution but to self delete. There is always another solution.

I hope this knowledge releases you of some feelings of responsibility.

You sound entangled with this women.

We are each responsible only for our actions in life. We choose how to respond. No one else.

You can let someone like this down gently by making them realize you are not qualified to help.

Need a professional.
