Would you ever try to put an end to your life if ever your girlfriend/boyfriend left you? I wont do it but yesterday after a fight with my gf she cut her wrist and is now suffering a lot on bed. Dont you think she needs psychiatric help? Im feeling very sorry for her and is finding it hard to live with this guilt as because of me she is in that state. Can someone act so stupidly at times? I wonder if she would not worsen things another time after a fight. Have you ever been in such situation or have any idea how to cope with it?

First and foremost, its NOT your fault! It was HER decision to do this, and her fault that she doesnt know how to deal with stress in life. Although don't get me wrong, I feel bad for her. I think she needs to speak to a mental health professional because what she did is not healthy or normal. Good luck

Whoa! It is not your fault that she did this. Did you hold her wrist and hand her the blade to cut her wrists with? I doubt it. She made the choice to do it herself. Not you.
And no, I would never kill myself because a boyfriend left me. I think your girlfriend needs to talk to somebody maybe not neccasarily a psychatrist but perhaps she does need it. But who doesn't need it these days right? She probably just acted out of emotion. She needs new ways to vent her emotions.
I'm sorry this happened. I'm sure it's hard not to want to blame yourself but don't let what happen control you.

I am sorry you are going through this hard time. I have been thru alot in my life and have had times thought that ending it would be best but in the end...NO..have never attempted to kill myself. I know people that have and far too many that have succeeded. I don't understand why some people can endure so much and others really just can't. It isn't your fault...that I do know. She has other issues beyond this that caused her to do this. Yes, she does need help.

That's a really difficult situation she's gotten into. As far as I know she's having a difficult time accepting things the way they are. It really could get worst and expect her that she wouldn't accept things if ever you're going to break up with her. Now don't blame yourself about her situation, it's not you...it's her problem, if she's not going to get over that habit then she's really into a big issue. Her friends could try and help her but if she refuses to be helped, well we can do almost nothing. No one can help her if she doesn't want to help herself. Try talking to her nicely and ask her not to do it again for you. If she loves you, she wouldn't end her life. She may have different point of view like "what's the use of my life without you?" but try to explain to her something that can help her change her view. Try to be gentle with her also. :)

yes .i'm afraid i will if i do feel desperate sometime in the future. maybe you think it's stupid, but under a certain condition you may want to try it. sometimes there are causes,while soetimes there aren't.just a moment,standing high,you suddenly want to jump out....you soul out of your body .
and my suggestion to avoid such a sad thing is :try to be away from it as possible.because you don;t know when your mind are out of control.it's really dangerous.
