Ok. well my girlfriend used to cut herself whenever we broke up. but she stopped when we got back together, but the main reason i went back out with her in the first place was because i hated when she cut herself and she started talking about commiting suicide. I love her, but it seems like whenever we start going out. we seem to grow farther part.so i just want to stay friends, but i'm afraid that if i breakup with her she will start cutting and wanting suicide again..... HELP!

Is there any chance you can steer her toward getting professional help for her mental health? Cutting and thoughts of suicide call for greater intervention than you alone can provide. At the very least, if I were you, I would make it a condition of your continued relationship that she seek help for this.

i agree with disorderguy and think that its not good that thats why you went back to her but its good you still want to be friend but i think she needs help and you should help her

Ditto. Your girlfriend needs help, and it's great that she has someone like you around to support her while she gets it. And you can support her better if you stay in good health yourself, so find someone you can talk with confidentially if it helps to ease the pressure.
