Sorry for your predicament, but run for your life. It will never get better and if you want a shot at a normal life, you need to get out while you can. Prayers man.

Hey man, if you need to talk I can send you my number an just chat with you about all this. Sounds like you have a heavy weight on your shoulders and just being able to vent may help

Yeah man, the only thing you can do is be there for her, but even then there is only so much you can do.

What she did yesterday was inevitable, but luckily she is still alive. I can't imagine what you are going through, but life has a weird way of working things out. Even if it isn't exactly how you planned, but all you can do at this point is expect the worse, but hope for the best..

It's crazy, my dad attempted it about 10years ago (still alive now), but 10years later and every time he doesn't answer his phone or no one knows where he is we get that feeling all over again.

Definitely saying a prayer for both of you.

All I can say is, you've done everything to the best of your ability in helping her. Unfortunately some people will find a way bc they see no other option.

As selfish as it sounds you need to get whatever help you can right now in order to process this experience while she is at this mental institution. It's easier said than done

You also need to consider if you should stay in this relationship for your sake not hers.

Does anyone know how to deal with this? Have any of you ever been through something similar to this? The pain I feel in my heart I would not wish upon my worst enemy. I feel like absolute shite..



Yes, i have been through it. Very sad situation. Just be there for her and listen. Hold off on all the lectures. Have her stop taking all that anti-deppressant crap. it only makes the situation worse. And no, you can't stop her actions, you can only give her more time and hopefully this passes. Don't feel bad, this will only complicate how she will communicate with you. If you start all that "i feel bad" crap...she will no longer confide in you. Be a good listener.

You cannot take ownership of this, or it will eat you alive. People make their own choices through life, and it seems this young woman has had multiple avenues to deal with her pain. She made a terrible choice, but ultimately it is on her, not on you.

Please, please see a therapist as soon as you possibly can. It is not fair this happened to you, and it is not fair you feel the way you do, but it is now on you to determine your next course of action. Do not let another person's actions define you for any length of time.

man that is terrible. I imagine that will be how we all are with her from now on. I'm glad your dad is doing better.

First, you need some time to digest all of this and likely should see a therapist yourself.

Second, I would deeply consider whether this is the person you want to have kids with and have influencing all aspects of your life. I personally could not stay on a relationship with someone with this type of issue but I am sure there are others than believe love can conquer all.

I'd be curious to know what is wrong. If the doc says "bipol", your arse better hit the door before he finishes the word.

For your own mental well being, GTFO at the next available opportunity. Should have seen the red flags coming a long time ago.

I suggest creating a therapeutic alliance with whatever mental health professional you see.

If you stay with your so be prepared to support her as much as possible and just listen. If you ask questions, make sure they're open ended and don't convey any judgement towards her.

Sometimes this is a chemical imbalance sometimes this is due to a traumatic experience they can't accept or find a way to deal with what had happened to them.

But never think it's your fault.

Prayers for you and her. Make sure she follows up with a counselor. Make sure she takes her meds that she's prescribed.
The stigma placed on mental illness can be hard to deal with, and nobody wants to be on "crazy pills" so many people live lives full of sadness and pain to avoid being stigmatized. Meds can make a big difference. Exercise can help too.
Offer all the support you can. Encourage her. Be patient.
From your post, it seems that she is already very fortunate to have you. Don't beat yourself up about this.
