Stop. If this woman harmed herself you would be blaming OP for not saying anything.

OP you did the right thing. You would have been remiss to not take her comments seriously given the situation.

I do however agree with other posters that this woman does have a mental illness and her behavior might become erratic and angry towards you. Sadly, I would not engage or respond to her texts and save and document everything. If she continues to threaten harm to herself or you or keeps texting you, I would tell HR.[/quote]

NP. Absolutely not. You don’t have any obligation to coworkers for their mental health. They aren’t children and they aren’t family. You don’t know anything, so just set boundaries and let their life play out as it will. I have suicidal relatives, and the number one rule is boundaries boundaries — they will drag you down with them. And that is what can happen here.

I would move and find a new job OP. Or at least take a long vacation/absence. [/quote]
