Suicide Threats
My girlfriend is threatening to commit suicide if i break-up with her. We have been dating for 5months. She tries to control me by asking continuously about my whereabouts and location and forces me to update her. If i don't she cries, throws a tantrum gets angry shouts at me, tries to harm herself by hitting head against the wall/slapping herself.
She herself has discontinued her medication that she's been on depression.
I'm really worried as if i disagree with her on any small point, there is a huge fight and nowadays I'm budging to everything she says.

It's undoubtedly a challenging situation for you, but remember, it's manageable. She appears to be both overly possessive and deeply insecure, indicating she needs help urgently. I strongly recommend reaching out to someone from her family who can provide support, as convincing her alone may be difficult. It's crucial for her to receive assistance promptly to avoid further trouble. Additionally, prioritize your own mental well-being, as this situation is likely impacting you too. You've been handling it admirably, and I believe you can navigate it while also considering her best interests. Take time to work on managing your emotions as well.
Next Steps
Seek professional help soon. Therapeutic counseling sessions can often guide you to reach your highest potential.
Health Tips
Set healthy boundaries, prioritise your mental well being, focus on eating healthy, stay active is necessary and exercise daily.

Hi.
Sit with her when she is in a good mood and discuss your concern and boundaries. Try to maintain a healthy space and a boundary between you two. If there's something which you can't entertain let her know similarly with her. This will help to improve your relationship as you both will be aware about your boundaries very well.
You also need to understand her gaslighting behaviour which is causing you to do the things she says. So, you should try to maintain some boundaries.
If there're still issues then you both can go for a couple counseling to help with your concern.
Next Steps

I'm sorry to hear about the challenging situation you're facing in your relationship. Dealing with a partner's threats of self-harm can be overwhelming. It's crucial to prioritize the well-being of both yourself and your girlfriend. Encourage her to seek professional help for her struggles with depression and self-harm. Express your concerns openly and honestly, emphasizing that you care about her but are not equipped to handle the situation alone.
Consider involving a trusted person in her life, such as a close friend or family member, who can provide support. Establish clear and healthy boundaries in the relationship to protect your own mental well-being. If you're genuinely concerned about her immediate safety, do not hesitate to reach out to emergency services in your area. Remember that while you can offer support, you are not responsible for her actions. Encouraging her to seek professional assistance is crucial in this situation. If you're uncertain about the best course of action, consider seeking guidance from a mental health professional who can provide support and advice tailored to your specific circumstances.
