i first thought that she was in a phase where shes just had enough of what shes been through and i really want to help her so much. I never been able to be alone with her and shes just scared of me in some way which made me concerned about her, all we ever do when were at school is just taking glances of eachother in the classroom, but something to me cant let the gods decide. All i need is courage and faith in myself, i dont want her to do this to herself, shes the only love i ever get, shes a person who chose me, i admire her with my heart.

#

and told me

#

text

#

like i said

#

shes scared to approach me

#

so

#

thats hard

earnest patio
#

Like it’s really bad

fervent wharf
#

my friend concidered to her

#

a therapist

#

but she didnt like thatr

earnest patio
fervent wharf
#

she just didnt say yea

earnest patio
fervent wharf
#

oh

earnest patio
#

Unless you put an effort into helping her but only the people close to her I guess

fervent wharf
#

ok

#

wait how much is a therapist

earnest patio
fervent wharf
#

and shes also not really feeling anything thats something to why she wants to do this

#

i already told her that

#

love doesnt have to be everything about someone

#

but that doesnt empathize her

earnest patio
fervent wharf
#

shes not feeling anything for me really

#

she told me

#

when we almost broke up

earnest patio
fervent wharf
#

but i got to learn about her

#

i known her sense 3rd grade

#

and now im in highschool

earnest patio
fervent wharf
#

earnest patio
fervent wharf
#

earnest patio
fervent wharf
#

#

I dont think the focus right now is the relationship, but her safety and that you care for her

earnest patio
#

She doesn’t want professional help

fervent wharf
#

no no she does

#

its just she doesnt feel enough love

twilit portal
#

I know

earnest patio
fervent wharf
#

well

#

ill be honest

#

im a virgin

#

so im scared to do shit

twilit portal
#

you dont have to go that way

earnest patio
twilit portal
#

you’re still young

fervent wharf
#

it proves that shes not getting love

#

that im not doing anything in person

earnest patio
twilit portal
earnest patio
fervent wharf
#

saying that

twilit portal
#

my partner is also someone dealing with mental health issues, do you want to know the ways I help him?

fervent wharf
#

sure

twilit portal
#

for starters does she spiral down when a problem comes

fervent wharf
#

hm

twilit portal
#

and does she goes to you to rant about it

fervent wharf
#

she doesnt go to me at all rarely

twilit portal
#

so im guessing you’re feeling stuck in the place you are now and not knowing how to approach her?

fervent wharf
#

yes

twilit portal
#

hmm

#

one thing you could do is pass on little notes to her

fervent wharf
#

we sit far apart

twilit portal
#

something like,

I hope you ate this morning, and I hope your day goes well :)

fervent wharf
#

thats kinda weird

twilit portal
twilit portal
fervent wharf
#

but no comment

twilit portal
#

then you can always alter the note to however youre feeling. adding context is good too

#

instead of it being straight to the point

#

add,

hey I havent been able to talk to you but I figured this note could be the way. I hope youre doing okay and know that I’m here for you, either as a partner or a friend

#

again alter it as you want to

#

my partner has also distanced himself before and offering to be there as a friend can help

#

the thing is right now, anything that you do has its risks

#

your main goal right now, as I understand, is to care for her

#

and so, there will be things that you do for her thats out of the norm

#

because youre trying to get her out of that space, closing the gap between the two of you

fervent wharf
#

ok

#

but i want to get her therapy

#

about her doing that to herself

twilit portal
#

does ur school have a school counsellor?

fervent wharf
#

no

twilit portal
#

getting therapy isnt always easy

#

you could convince her to go

#

but theres also needing parental approval

fervent wharf
#

her parents hate her

#

sorry if that was foward

twilit portal
#

then that would be hard

twilit portal
#

its good to just be straight up

fervent wharf
#

well

#

if its hard

#

then maybe i could try

#

to help her

twilit portal
#

yeah

#

and for that, you have to take the first steps

#

right now shes distancing herself

#

in order for her to feel safe with you, the distance needs to be closer

#

maybe the note, maybe by giving her checkup texts or maybe other ideas

#

to ask her to straight up talk to you might be hard

#

but again it depends on the situation

fervent wharf
#

and also

#

one time

#

in the hallway

#

she got convinced to hug me

#

she was nervous but still did it

#

maybe shes not that scared

#

she still could

twilit portal
#

im glad then

#

who convinced her?

fervent wharf
#

her friend and my friend

twilit portal
#

thats rlly nice

#

well for now, try to think of ways you could get closer to her, think of the things she likes and things to say

fervent wharf
#

ok

twilit portal
#

fervent wharf

You can't be her saviour/ rescuer. Even if she's struggling at home, isolated or distressed, you are not in a position to "save her". That role is too heavy for anyone, especially someone the same age who barely has direct contact with her. You're not responsible for her. Right now you're probably thinking "she only has me, I can't let this happen to her, I have to help her". This will turn from affection to emotional responsibility for her well-being and this is where things become unhealthy pretty fast.

#

There's also a practical problem: you don't have access to her emotional reality.

#

No trusted adult involvement, no direct conversations/ contact, you only see each other at school and even then it's at a distance. So even though you have the best intentions, you're trying to act on very limited information and a lot of imagination that's filled with concern for her.

#

Even if she has difficult parents and no counselor, the correct support system is still adults and professionals, not a friend to boyfriend she barely speaks to in person.
