[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is OP. Sorry, but I've stated exactly what I mean. I don't feel comfortable sharing details in the case that this was ever seen, as it is incredibly personal, probably embarrassing, and the actual root of the problem isn't relevant to my question. Hope you can respect that, but understand if you can't.  I will say that at the pinnacle of the problem, I was concerned they may be feeling suicidal, but I think those feels have passed.

Basically, when someone you've only been dating a few months and you don't exactly know really well has a crisis, what is the best response? Just leave them alone to deal with it in their own time? Do I check in on occasion to let them know they have support? I really don't know was is appropriate in this case. [/quote]

Follow the person's lead as much as you can. Let them know you are there if they need, and then drop it. You can check in very occasionally/ periodically with a non judgemental check in ("hey - thinking of you") but expect no response. It's also not up to you to "hold" your relationship during this if it's not serious enough, and unless you want to.

Remember than drama follows some people, and decide if this is a true time of trouble, or a person who is in their usual drama. [/quote]
