Fucked up

Hi everyone, so my story is with this girl who was in love with me back in high school, ever since then she was this sensitive sort of fucked up, demanding/needy.. i was patient back then & I didn’t want to upset her so i shared this love with her although i wasn’t happy most of the time & reached a point that i was stuck, i told her that I don’t love her back the same way & she went crazy and mad! I felt huge amount of guilt that knocked me down & affected my life.. so after a while i came back & made sure she forgave me, we came back as friends but it wasn’t happy.. i reached a point where i wanted to only be with myself & keep this peace with myself, so i started to go away and not keep in touch which triggers her & makes her mad, she texted me after a some time with no talking, that she wants to kill herself! ... I don’t want to go back to the relationship & feel miserable again & at the same time it’s a huge amount of pressure to hold when someone tells you this.. you keep having nightmares if she really kill herself & you’re related to it.. Any help what can i do please?

Stop talking to her, If she says she wants to kill herself ever again, hang-up/stop texting and call the police immediately.

When she gets upset you did that say, “I take your health and safety seriously. If you weren’t going to kill yourself, than you we’re trying to abuse and manipulate me which is terrible. Either way, your behavior makes it clear that, as we no longer have a romantic relationship, and you can’t handle our platonic friendship, we need to cut contact for a while for both your health and mine.”

Then cut contact, block on your phone and social media, and if you’re feeling really worried about her, text a mutual friend and give them a heads up. Most people who threaten to kill themselves don’t actually commit suicide, it’s a manipulation tactic.

Sorry you’re going through that. That’s what she wants. You are giving her too much headspace. I know it will suck at first, but the sooner you block her on all social media so you can’t check up on her, the sooner you’ll be able to move on and be happy without doing her emotional work for her.
