Today, my girlfriend of a month told me that the only thing keeping her from swallowing a bottle of pills is being in a relationship with me, because she doesn't handle breakups well. FML

Well thats not a healthy relationship.

What are you 15? You say you love her after a month and then say you're falling for someone else? I think you need to figure things out...continuing a relationship like this is not healthy for anyone.

Sounds like control to me. Op, you should be in the relationship because you love each other and not because you're scared.

Is your gf in counseling? It could really help when these moods hit. If you're planning on continuing to date her for a while (or keep her as a friend after you break up) a therapist could help you learn some strategies for dealing with some of the tougher side effects of her condition.

Given that the OP is a woman, that might be difficult to follow through with.

I agree with 98% of what you are saying. The only issue I have is with the age comment. Yes if you can use those phrases lightly you have no idea what they mean. But people of any age CAN fall in love. For instance my middle school principal told us a long time ago that she knew she was going to marry her now husband in the 4th grade.

This is the dumbest ******* comment... wow...

So... in the space of a few comments: "I love her to pieces and she is my world", "I love her, I really do" --> "I'm starting to fall for someone else" --> "maybe I actually don't like her". Honestly, it sounds like neither you or your girlfriend are ready for a proper relationship.

She has thyroid cancer and schizophrenia--FHL. Make sure you get some support for yourself. That's some heavy stuff to handle on your own, no matter what age you are. I recommend finding a National Alliance for the Mentally Ill chapter near you for support.

I'm sorry, but that's in no way healthy. She needs to work out her own problems. From this comment alone I can tell she is slowly bringing you down and making you feel obligated. And you don't need to be around a person that's depressing all the time. You'll learn to resent them and eventually become sad and bitter yourself. Get out while you can

You know, just because she said she'd commit suicide doesn't necessarily mean she's blackmailing her gf. I've been in a similar situation, except it was way longer than a month of dating. More like years. Anyway, he knew I was depressed since we met and then years later he cheated on me, and that really just broke me. I attempted suicide. I know it wasn't the smartest thing to do, but at the time it made sense to me. At a moment like that you really need someone to sit you down a give you a serious talk. My situation could've been avoided had there been someone to talk some sense to me. -shrugs-

She may not be deliberately blackmailing OP, but there is no way in which 'You're the only reason I'm not killing myself right now' and other comments like that are /exactly/ emotional blackmail. Run now, OP. Run far. Run fast.
