    Hi guys I'm looking for advice here. TW su!c!d3
    So I have a girlfriend, and for a little backround, we both are struggling with our mental health and we're both in the process of getting adhd/autism diagnosis' and stuff, and neither of us are probably in the right situation to be in a relationship but yeah. We have really open conversations about everything and we can talk to each other which I am so grateful for because I've never had that before.

    My girlfriend always calls me or texts me if shes not feeling well. And I often stay up late to try and comfort her,
    but these last two months or so its gotten worse

    TW!!
    she has attempted a few times lately, and I'm really worried, and I don't know what to do. I know I probably should tell an adult or something. And I will if it's really bad. But anytime I say I'm gonna wake my mom, she says she'll never talk to me again if I do. And I don't want to break our trust unless it's absolutely necessary.

    I will also say that she is in the system for mental health and stuff and she is going to get help for other stuff soon. And her parents know shes struggling.

    if anyone knows what I should do next time she calls me about this, or in general, I'd really appreciate it

    Well, personally if I were in this situation I would maybe leave the relationship if it was causing more distress and overall stress. Of course I would keep on contact with them if they still wanted that relationship and overall I would hope we both find ways to make us both find the joys on life and strength each other. Even if one person does that it helps, I'm sure it does. I personally have no experience with anything similar to this.

    Hi, I missed this post somehow. Want to say that 1) I am AuDHD as well so I completely understand how navigating that can be difficult, especially while in a relationship. I am going to be honest. It is already bad enough. I know it’s difficult, but telling an adult is the right thing to do at this point. It is better for her to no longer trust you but be alive than for her to trust you and keep causing pain to herself and you.

    You are not equipped or trained to handle this type of situation. I know you care about her, and it’s very valiant and sweet that you want to help. The best way you can do that at this point though is by telling an adult. Nobody can fix someone else’s mental health for them. As much as it is painful to hear, it has to be an internal thing (along with seeking health from professionals and medication, of course.) It is possible that medication or a therapist or any number of things could significantly improve life for her but there is no way to know without an adult becoming involved. It will feel like breaking her trust, but sometimes, loving someone means they’re going to be angry at you. Do it anyway. It’s a big difference between people knowing she’s struggling vs. people knowing that she has attempted. She needs help that you cannot give her.

    If you need any help or someone to talk to, I’m here and my PMs are always open!

    Hi! I talked to her parents (not because of this post dw) and I think her parents kinda didn’t really care, but it’s all good now
