I live in California and my exgf who lives in Houston has been taking different antidepressants over the past 3 years. She just recently changed from Wellbutrin to Paxil and its been driving her crazy. I just flew over to Houston last week to visit her and she seemed ok but this week she's been acting totally different. She has acted like this before so it's not something new. She text messaged me today telling me she doesn't wanna be here anyore and I tried calling her back but she won't pick up. Now I'm really afraid she might have done something really stupid. What should I do?
 
Call the cops in her area/parents, or drive to Houston or something and see if you can help her out. Theres hotlines you can call like 1-800-SUICIDE and they could probably get ahold of someone in her area to check in on her.

I'm a very good friend of hers. Her parents are the cause of a lot of her problems actually. I"m tryin to google the # for the Houston PD right now..
 
Well, you should get in touch with her parents and tell them you are worried about her, and ask them to go to her house. If not parents, then a mutual friend. If you can't find anyone else, you should probably ask the police to send an officer around to check up on her and make sure she hasn't done anything stupid.


This is good page for people to read as they are considering suicide, maybe get your gf to look at it

Suicide: read this first
 
I wonder if you tell her to go ahead and do it, she really would.

She just might be an attention grabbin tang

You're a good friend, but maybe call some of her other friends to help you out.

Parents being the reason for problems only works until you reach mid-teens, if that.

Kudos on Houston PD call, though. :thumbsup:

Not really. I know a remarkable number of people that are in their 30s and 40s that are depressed (among other things) due to issues with their parents.

The responsibility moves from the parents to the children during the teens. If you're depressed because of your parents and you're in your 30's and 40's, you're seriously ****** up in the head.
 
You flew to Houston to see your EX-girlfriend? Dude, tell her parents what she said and move on with your life. You don't need her mental illness dragging you down too.
 
Make the call to the Houston PD and then get yourself out of this situation. It is not your problem and will only drag you down.
 
She definately needs to change her meds. Sounds like she's having some bad side effects. Sometimes anti-depressants can make you more depressed. Sounds like her situation. You sound like a nice guy for being there for her even if she is your ex-gf. :thumbsup:

might be a bit too late for this? Not sure, if someone was suicidal and contacted me, I definately would not be able to think . . "=\ i'll just detach myself from her, i'm an ex now anyways."

It's never too late. Better to get out sooner than later. If it's already later, better to get out later than much later. The sooner he gets out, the better.
 
Double dog dare her FTW!

Seriously....call the cops in the area and report it if you care for her as at least a friend, which it sounds like you do.

So if one of you're friends (of several years) was going through serious depression you wouldn't be there for them?

To a point, yes. If they're suicidal, it's time to step back and let the professionals handle it.

*ding* Winnar!

Been there, done that. Despite the fact that you no longer dip the wick of wanting in the labia lake of lust, women like this (nuts...the hell with P.C. language, she's NUTS) continue to attempt to pull you into their psychotic little world. Call the cops in her area, give them your full information (they already have it when you call, but do the right thing anyway) and let her picture be slandered all over the local papers.

ps
Get a NEW life. She's in the past. You loved her once. Now is not once. Now is now. Yesterday is yesterday. Time to move on.
 
Give her a pistol loaded with ammo and show her how to operate it. The next time she pulls the suicidal crap tell her she has the tool and know how to follow through with her threat. Hang up phone. If she does not kill herself then tell her to stop being a fvcking drama queen and seek some professional help so she can find a new guy that will listen to all her crap.
