    Relationship Girlfriend's Depression Is Starting To Affect Me, I Need Urgent Help!

    The problem is she knows I'm there for her and this has been going on for months and things are not getting better. I'm positive they will someday but she's hopeless and negative. I try to talk to her about nice things but when she feels bad she doesn't talk about anything except for depression...

    Relationship Girlfriend's Depression Is Starting To Affect Me, I Need Urgent Help!

    The reason why she wants to push people away and is scared of people being closed is because she suffered trauma and now she feels like she has to run away before getting hurt or being trapped again. I try to avoid her triggers and she does too (for example things reminding her of sexual abuse)...

    Relationship Girlfriend's Depression Is Starting To Affect Me, I Need Urgent Help!

    I just got triggered twice: not only suicide this time, but also my fears of abandonment. I was talking to her about an experience of the past and she told me please don't do that to me if I decide to leave or something, which triggered my fears of abandonment (which only happens with a specific...

    Relationship Girlfriend's Depression Is Starting To Affect Me, I Need Urgent Help!

    Yeah well, at least the counselor is a new help now, so I'm glad she accepted this kind of help. She's just scared of mentioning suicide with the counselor because of the possibility of being reported, at least that's what she said to me. I feel like talking about suicide with me is not...

    Relationship Girlfriend's Depression Is Starting To Affect Me, I Need Urgent Help!

    I might feel worn out sometimes but I want to help her until she gets better. I feel bad and then calm down later, I'm already much calmer now compared to when I typed my OP in the middle of an anxiety attack. I'll work on myself so I'll deal with stuff properly. She's an amazing person and...

    Relationship Girlfriend's Depression Is Starting To Affect Me, I Need Urgent Help!

    Yeah I agree, this is why I'm begging her to see a therapist. I mean, she's seeing a school counselor, but I feel like she needs much more help than this, and maybe even more than once a week since she constantly feels horrible about herself. I also agree I have to take care of myself and be...

    Relationship Girlfriend's Depression Is Starting To Affect Me, I Need Urgent Help!

    I wouldn't jump to quick conclusions about BPD. I understand she has to fix herself, but sometimes she doesn't want to. Other times, she feels like she really wants to, which is confusing and it sounds like an endless rollercoaster. It might sound like a difficult relationship, but I was just...

    Relationship Girlfriend's Depression Is Starting To Affect Me, I Need Urgent Help!

    Hello everyone. I found this forum while typing my girlfriend's symptoms on Google. I don't know if she has PTSD, but so many things people say on this forum reflect her experiences, so I figured this is the best place to ask for help. I'm in a long-distance relationship with this wonderful...
