Man that's an awful situation. Praying that she gets the help she needs, brother. This is a burden that you shouldn't have to carry alone, you should maybe talk to a therapist as well in the future.

Wow you sound like a real prick.

I'll pray for you man.
But to be very blunt, if you're not clear-thinking enough to know that this isn't your fault, you can't possibly carry this burden for her. The best thing you can do is to pray for her, do what professionals tell you to do, and try to temporarily set aside your emotional response to this in plotting YOUR way forward.
Other people are focused on her, and her situation is not going to be dependent on you being a good guy.

This is not your fault. You are not a counselor, nor a psychiatrist. Even if you were, it's still not your fault.

Take some time for yourself while she is locked up in the hospital and go enjoy life.

I would end the relationship sooner than later.
Get out baw.

WTF? Why don't you leave knives all over her bedroom as well? Terrible advice.

This is really terrible advice. If you are uncertain about antidepressants talk to a doctor.
There is a reason the manufacturers print this all over the labels.
Warning: Antidepressants May Lead to Suicidal Tendencies
If she is at the point of attempting suicide then popping more anti-depressant pills is not the answer. I agree with talk to a doctor but i disagree with you saying it's "terrible advice".

Sometimes it's not for attention. I know first hand. I did it (attempt) bc I was ashamed of myself and couldn't get myself to admit to family and friends that I had a big problem. Some do it to save themselves because at the time they know it's best to be hospitalized. It's different for each case but it's not ALWAYS for attention. I see your point though.

I take that back. You seem like a complete prick asking for photos of her. You yourself need attention it seems.

I would say he needs to respectfully and lovingly get out of relationship.
Whats your thoughts on long term viability and health happiness to him in this relationship

Good call. You're done as a poster, so no reason to hang around.
OP, you've gotten some good advice. You are not responsible. You can't be glued to her 24/7. If someone wants to go, that person will figure out a way to do it. Depression and mental illness are hard battles for those who suffer from the illnesses and those who love them. Remember that you have to take care of yourself. Please get help. That's the way to figure out how best to deal with this going forward and whether this relationship is good for you and good for her. It's more complex than I worded it. A professional will help you work through it. Good luck to you and the gf.
