[quote=Anonymous]Pretty complicated issue, but I would think if she's doing this repeatedly, there are things in her life she wants to be different, but she isn't taking responsibility for why they are the way they are, or for changing them. I think it's good you didn't go drive there. I need to feel valued or whatever other need would be met by that is not a healthy pattern to establish. Is she a bit immature? Does she have OCD like tendencies or intrusive thoughts? She might need a better therapist, but I think a full overall of what are her values and what are her morals would be most helpful. I think lots of people sometimes imagine a suicide level "out". But for many they wouldn't do it because they wouldn't do that to their family and friends, the person who would find them, etc. Somehow in her mind being suicidal is acceptable behavior, and she feeds this by entertaining the thoughts, and not working to change things when she's not having the thoughts.[/quote]
