Re: I think I'm being manipulated. (TW talk of suicide)

Yeah, you're being manipulated. You are NOT responsible for this person's emotional well being. You are NOT responsible for the choices and decisions she makes, good or bad. She is taking advantage of the fact that you're a nice person with a great deal of empathy, and she is using that for her own emotional release and that is shitty.

Write to your "friend" (because she's not really your friend, you know this, right?) and tell her that while you'd like to help her, you just don't have the knowledge or training she needs. Point her toward therapy. Give her the number of a suicide hotline or point her to resources for people with depression. Tell her that you can't do this for her anymore. Don't let her guilt trip you, because she will almost certainly try. Practice saying, "I'm sorry, but you need more help than I can give you." Say it over and over again.

A lot of social media platforms have procedures for reporting suicidal users. Look up the ones that are relevant to you, and report your friend the next time she mentions feeling suicidal. Do it every time and don't feel bad. If you know your friend's real name, address or other contact info, feel free to use that, too.
