Posts: 1905 - Karma: 12,901
My Girlfriend is actively talking about suicide, and she keeps telling me to leave her alone because she doesn't want to hurt me, that she has nothing to live for. She says the stress is too much, and that she's dug her life into a hole and she needs to die. I don't know what to do, i'm shaking right now, crying, I feel like a terrible boyfriend. Please help, what can I say?

She lives 300 miles away so I can't go visit her or anything. She won't Sykpe me. I feel so helpless

Please NS this is not a troll, I need some help

tell her parents about it so they can intervene. That might be hard but it also might keep her alive

Ever think of contacting her parents/her friends at school? You do realize that this is NS? Probably not the best place of this type of advice

Yeah you should do this. She's pushing you away to the point that you can't help, and that's not your fault. But you also shouldn't just let it slide. The girl needs help, and you can't do a whole lot when you're 300 miles away and she's not letting you help her. Telling her parents or close friends is about all you can do. If you can though, definitely drive out to her asap.

I've done just that, the parents didn't believe me and I don't have any of her friend's numbers. NS was the last place I could turn to. I felt like maybe someone might have some really helpful advice

I'm probably going to do just that... I don't have a car capable unfortunately, but i'm currently asking friends for this as a massive favor

I know how panicked you feel right now. The same thing happened to me a while back. Op get your ass to her now... She's pushing you away bc she wants to see that you care . Go to her and stay with her until she gets help of some sort. I'm not saying that she isn't suicidal but girls use suicide as a plea for help a lot more than guys. You are also probably not a terrible BF bc you care. Tell your parents what's up don't wait for their response and get your ass over there. Also make sure she knows that your coming and also that she can't stop you from coming. If you feel like she's going to do something bad before you get there call the local PD where she lives and tell them.

Once you get there though and she becomes stable she NEEDS to get professional help. She will probably fight you on this but don't give in bc that's the best thing for her. If you have any other questions PM me. I hope this helps, it's a really shitty road to walk but it gets better down the line when you know you made a difference however small

I know this isn't a plea for attention. She's been down this road before. She wants to push me away because she "doesn't want to hurt me and can't stand the thought of hurting me" I'm trying to get down there but I don't have a car that will make the distance (junker) I'm asking friends for favors currently. She says she needs to be left alone for a bit so she can figure this all out without me, and that she doesn't have to feel like she's hurting me. I don't know what to do. It feels like if i left her alone i'd be leaving her when she needs me, but then again I think she really does just need to be alone to think about what is going on in her life and get through it.

Again I still think she just wants you to be there for her no matter what she says. Like I said I've been down the same road. Talk to your parents and ask if they can help you. Most parents I feel would gladly help. She says she doesn't want you there but it will speak volumes if you can find a way. Take a greyhound if you have to but tell her you are coming and follow through with it.

How old are you guys?

I think you need to speak with her parents again and stress that she's not messing around and even if she doesn't plan to follow through, these kinds of threats don't come out of nowhere.

If her parents refuse to do anything, it might not be a bad idea to call child services (again, depending on how old you are). I get calls about these situations pretty regularly and we can provide supports or refer to resources you guys might not know exist. Social workers aren't just there to take kids away. We can also speak with her and try to figure out what's going on. Maybe she's being a dramatic teenager or maybe there is something much more serious going on.

At the end of the day, the most important thing you need to remember is whatever happens, it's not your fault and you CANNOT blame yourself. If you can get to her to support her, awesome. If you can't and she does something, it's NOT because you weren't there for her.

Good luck man and if you need any help from a social worker who works with teens and families in crisis every day, shoot me a pm.

Im not going to go the skierman route and tell you to ditch this chick or anything. BUt if she is saying she doesn't want you around or involved in her problems that is likely the truth.

Honestly try to take a few days off from contact don't be texting her to check in and all that bullshit. She feels like she owes you shit and your 300 miles away and that is probably one of her big problems...she can't get some dick to cheer her up b/c it would be being disloyal to you...see what I mean? Feeling she owes shit to a guy 300 miles away is definitley part of her problems so I'd back off.

She doesn't want non stop calls and she doesn't want you driving 300 miles to 'rescue' her nothing to do but leave her alone.

Nah dude. Girls are crazy. When we push you away usually it means we need you. And when/if you let us push you away then it means you didn't care enough to begin with.

This is what sort of settled to. I found that a big cause of stress for her was her thinking she was hurting me, and I said I'd leave her alone for a while until she could sort this thing out. I did my best to make her feel important, and to try and not guilt her. The last thing she needs is to have more pain in her life

MinggNah dude. Girls are crazy. When we push you away usually it means we need you. And when/if you let us push you away then it means you didn't care enough to begin with.


A lot of guys would have noped the fuck out of the situation I'm in with her right now, shes got some bad depression. But I love her, and I'm probably going to be the only guy who will love her like I do. I feel it's my responsibility to stay with her. And I did, she kept pushing me away because she doesnt want to hurt me, but I kept close because I felt she needed me. I'm backing off now because I think I'm just causing pain for her. I'm not leaving her by any means but I'm giving her some space, because that's what she genuinely wants. She's always really honest with me, doesn't play silly games, so when she says she wants to have some space she means it. I wouldn't back off unless she really honestly wanted me to

It's actually a pretty common way of like emotional defense in both men and women. And it's not like people behave like that all the time. It's mostly relevant in extreme cases like this.

We talked it out, she's feeling better, and she's going to hang on. She needs some distance to figure herself out and to relieve some stress. She's doing a bit better though, I'm really worried about her though... We aren't going to talk for a little bit and I'm terrified ill never get a reply from her, or that she'll text me goodbye for one last time...

Talk to her. Don't let her hang up. Drive out there. Right now. This takes precedence over whatever your plans are. Make her promise you that she will not do anything until you get to see her. If she doesn't agree and hangs up, then call her parents. If they aren't around, call the police.
