So of course just like the rest of us on this site i’m pretty suicidal. and by pretty i mean really suicidal. so naturally when i found a girl that makes me happy it was like god had decided to let up a little bit. a few months go by and all is well until recently. things are falling apart and im freaking out because without her i know i’ll try something again. i cant let the tiny bit of happiness ive found get away from me. And yet she causes me so much pain too… and her knowing about my depression is hurting her too. i know shed be better off without me which is probably why she’s considering it, but the mere idea tears at my chest. i would take a bullet for her, i walked five miles in the rain to her house because she needed someone to hold her but she would never do that. But i cant let go. this post is really all over the place and i apologize, im just pretty emotional 🙁 i dont know what do to or how to handle the inevitable outcome

you get more than one romance in life. but the trick is you gotta’ be alive for them. unless she’s into dead guys. in which case good luck.
Try to stay calm, and whatever you do don’t appear desperate. That’ll only make her want to run far, far away. Nobody wants to feel that someone else has control over them, especially not someone they’ve only been dating for a short time.
Try to make a list of all the problems you see right now, and once you know what can be changed and what probably won’t change, go to her and see what she is saying about the situation, but stay calm no matter what she says. If she’s worried about your depression, tell her that you will try to start being more positive for her sake.
If you two are relatively happy and compatible, there’s no reason why you can’t work it out. Don’t tell yourself she’d be better off without you. She chose you over everyone else. Accept that, stop feeling so self-critical (because that gets you nowhere in a relationship), and do your best to work on any issues.
Wishing you luck, mate.
Persephone has a good idea, writing down the problems and talking about it. You have to stay calm. She’s right that she chose you and if your relationship is good then it can still be worked out. Don’t let your thoughts run away with you and your fears and sadness go wild. I let that happen and I ruined a relationship with probably the coolest girl I’ve ever met. Just work at it and everything will turn out the way its meant to. But don’t let that pain continue. talk to her
Good luck
