Christ. Trying to talk anyone out of a suicide must be difficult.
It is. Trying to convince someone in that state of mind they matter to you is like trying to tear down a brick wall with a toothpick. The best I can ever hope for is that she'll get through it and feel better the next day. I do trust her, and this is far from the first time this has happened between us, but I'm still scared that I won't be there for her when she's really in trouble. The fact that she has underlying problems only makes it more difficult for her.
Still, I do love her very much and I promised her I'd always do my best for her. I'm sure that she knows and appreciates that, even if she won't admit it and tends to feel otherwise.
Therapy. Pretty much only solution if they're in too deep.
She's tried that a few times. She says it doesn't work for her. She doesn't like sympathy she doesn't think she deserves. She says she's thinking of going back and seeing if it helps any more this time around. It's not something a professional can work out for her, though. She needs to resolve the issues herself. She said herself she won't be able to feel properly good about herself unless she sorts it out, which she is having problems with.
