>gf of 5 years has GAD and depression
>has talked about suicide many times and it has been a constant for the last 3 years
>has attempted it in the past before I met her
>has attempted it twice in the time I've been with her
>both times I found her and physically intervened, took away medication she was taking (nearly half way to a lethal dose) and picked her up over my shoulder when I woke up to her kicking a chair on a noose
>time in hospital and sectioned only made things worse
>took 4 months to recover before she could go back to work (with my help)
>terrified of hospital
>terrified of me using my phone to call emergency services
>i suspect terrible conduct from doctors/nurses (overheard them gossiping/laughing) and I believe this is the main cause of the above
tonight she is the worst she has ever been even with my company and support. she has completely given up and has no will to get better. I strongly fear that if I do anything she will attempt to kill herself but I'm at the end of my tether. I really don't know what to do. all advice for my situation does not work. listening to her doesn't help, calmly talking doesn't help, hotlines don't help, emergency services make it worse. I am at my wit's end. Please help me
Gf of 5 years has GAD and depression
if she wanna die , let her , its her decision i guess
we live together. i don't see any way she can without me being complicit
You can't save her, you're not her shrink/doctor.
You can love her and be there, but that's sort of it.
She's not your responsibility, though we do tend to carry that with the people we love.
I don't think meds are any help at all, perhaps a good shrink would help her?
I don't know what to say other than that OP - best of luck in a horrible situation.
Won't like my advice. She needs to want to be alive. So first she must fight for her life. Beat the shit out of her, like really belt the living shit out of her. She needs to fear death. So make her face it.
I suppose you also tell people with broken legs to "walk it off"?
abandon and get out of that toxic relationship
you cannot help those who can't be helped, even though you love them
grow strong, and leave her, she will save herself if she wants to, you can't
so get out of the relationship, this will only kill you too in the process
sincerely user who fought the same thing with my ex
got any nudes?
What an absolute dumb fuck. Let’s scare, harm, traumatize and abuse an already severely traumatized person, all while committing a crime that carries jail time, social stigma, and most likely guilt. Brilliant.
Make sure you use EVERY option, to the last one. If nothing, and I mean NOTHING, helps her anymore you gotta let her go. Some ppl are beyond repair so to speak. I know this is hard and not the advice you wanna hear but still.
Let her make this decision, after all it's her life.
And best of luck, user, hopefully it ends well.
She taking medication and doing talk therapy?
you need to break up, you shouldn't let her drag you down with her. Whatever happens after is not your fault. If she really wanted to die she would've been dead already she sounds attention seeking and annoying. Its not hard to jump off a bridge or shoot yourself, I bet when you break up she still wont succeed.
Give her Heroin
Nobody will give you what you seek, you seek ways to help her
but you have to face that somethings can't be helped user
Even though you have a big heart, and want to give her that which she needs
you just can't, user, when things looks like this, you should see it as a sign to leave
When you've done this alot of times, you will see the signs quicker, and do what is best for both
The first couple of times you will spend time devoted to solve it, only to realise in the end that you can't
when you've been in alot of relationships like this, you will realise quicker, before you get too sucked in like you now.
be strong, and leave, user
do what is best for you, if she really wants to be saved, she have to do it herself
like you have to save yourself now, just do it, it's gonna suck, fucking balls, and hurt
but trust me user, it's for the best
Livestream it
Tell her to stop being an attention whore
She is you girlfriend, user, don't let her commit suicide! Kill her by yourself
Clearly she isn’t compliant with her medications and isn’t seeing her Psychiatrist. You need to make sure she is. Medication isn’t a Meme, it actually helps people with behavioral and cognitive disorders like her take the edge off their symptoms so they can FOCUS on recovery. Yes the side effects suck and yes the meds don’t wont for the first 5 weeks but that’s why it’s a commitment dumbass.
She has suicidal Ideation than she is a tier One on a medical priority list. She needs a 72 Hour indefinite psych hold at a local Psych facility. No ifs ands or buts, and they need to refuse to let her go until she isn’t a danger to herself any longer.
Make her religious, suicide is a sin.
Give her universal guidelines and values to improve her self-awareness and emphasize her status as a global citizen.
Talk to her about Taoism.
Best wishes user!
Yes
she has taken her meds every day for 4 years. she sees a psychiatrist once a month and a psychologist once every two weeks for 2 years already. we live together and she doesn't do anything without me
Perhaps you should do some talk therapy too - you seem to be close to burnout.
You can't carry her at the cost of your own affinity with life. I know it's painful, but sometimes we just have to cut and run.
You are positive she takes them? She doesn’t check them and throw them away later? What is she taking if you don’t mind? And what is her actual clinical Diagnosis?
I’ll try to respond because I’d like to help, but I’ve got clinic in an hour, so I may be no help at all. Either way user, Godspeed.
Cheek*
I’m a filthy phoneposter
Maybe she should inquire about having meds changed or adjusted.
You still around op cuz ill give advice
>>has attempted it in the past before I met her
That's what you get for dating crazy
Given the fact that this is anonymous, can you give us a reason as to why she would be depressed?
She might just be a bored attention looking whore.
If bitch wanted to kill herself she would have been dead long ago.
Stop being a faggot. Either kys together or leave her to "kill herself" which she will not do because she's a fucking whore.
I'm so sick of cunts like your gf who feed on people's misery they brought in the first place.
