Guys..this is my 1st post..really really need your helpÂ…IÂ’m having suicidal thoughts right now..my cousin (chrysalis_guy) told me that sgforum people can help me..so here I am..i canÂ’t seem to get registeredÂ…cos no verification sent to my email..
HereÂ’s what happened..
IÂ’m a 25 years old guy..2 years ago..I ended a 9 year relationship with my 1st gf..she ditched me because of another guy..it left a huge impact on me..and at that point of time..i lost my job..and all my friends..i went into deep depression and live in seclusionÂ….for the next couple of months..i couldnÂ’t muster myself up and canÂ’t find any jobs..i was really determined to end my life once for allÂ…until..one day..i told myself I need to survive..and found a job finally..but even then..i have totally forgotten what is happiness..till I met a gal through a friend who was still studying then..
She was my ever emotional support and accompanied me through my darkest hoursÂ…after many months..we started a relationship..for the past 1 year..we were loving..she was teaching tuition and I was workingÂ…we met about 4 days each week..most of the weekends we meet and for weekdays..we always meet a few hours from 7pm+ to about 10pm+..thenÂ…at certain points in time..i will suffer a mental relapseÂ….it seems to stem from my previous depression..sometimes I will get really emotional..and she has kept helping me to cope with it..she knows that she means everything to me..and every second with her is important for me to maintain my sanity..as I am very scared of being lonely..very scared of not being lovedÂ…sometimes I can be perfectly normal..sometimes I can just become emotional and feels that she doesnÂ’t love me anymore..though deep inside me..i know she doesÂ…I also dunno why I feel so uncertain..anyway..whenever she is with me..i am able to control my sanity..to have a reason to live..
It all went well when recently..she told me she was planning to start work in a firm which requires her to go United States for the 1st month..she still continues tuition..i was devastated..my emotional ‘pillar’ was gonna leave me for a while……I know I am being rather childish here..but she is really my emotional support..i duno how to explain..without her..my depression will come back..i know…I started to worry…and I was so scared she will ‘change’ when she comes back…I don’t know why I am so uncertain..i really don’t know..she kept assuring me that she won’t and nothing will change when she comes back…
Now..she calls me everyday though only a few minutes..as it was expensive to call in the United States..those every few minutes were like ‘life pills’ for me to sustain my emotions and to keep on going….yesterday..she didn’t call me and she smsed me instead from the US..that it was inconvenient and she can’t call me everyday already as it was very expensive….she then told me to take care…and that when she comes back..she can’t meet me that often as she will have to start a long-term project which her company requires her to do….and hope that I will support her….and not get emotional…
When I saw this email….i was devastated….i know I should give her support….but my emotional depression kept bugging me…my emotions kept telling me: “she has changed..she said she won’t..but only after a few days..she told me she cant meet that often..”….i keep asking myself since she knows that only by being with her can I sustain my emotions and carry on living..why is she still wanting to tell me all these that will destroy me..especially at this time when I’m having problems at work..she knows that the next few weeks..i will be really stressed…and yet..she is telling me now that once she is back…she can’t meet me that often as she has tuition to teach after her work….
I know I am selfish..a bastard evenÂ….but I just cant control my emotions..i am so uncertainÂ…I feel she will become distant from me if donÂ’t meet that oftenÂ…and if one day she leaves meÂ….she knows that I have no qualms of leaving this worldÂ…not that I using this to threaten herÂ…Â…Â…Â…..i really have no goals and nobody to turn to in this world already..and mentally drained to meet new friendsÂ…Â…..she is the only I have and reason to liveÂ…Â…I donÂ’t know what to do nowÂ…I really donÂ’tÂ….i am really having suicidal thoughts..i havenÂ’t replied to her yetÂ…please may anyone guide meÂ….donÂ’t ask me go counsellrosÂ…cos I really need some advice right nowÂ…please help me..a friend used to tell me that once both started workingÂ…there will be less time to meetÂ…maybe only during the weekendsÂ….itÂ’s commonÂ….not like the study period..where almost everyday meetÂ…..but I still cant controlÂ…

Emotional vampires.
Your appetite for emotional bonding and intimacy is so intense that you never realise how it will actually drain your partner of personal space, inner space and emotional space. Yes, it will suck her dry without you realising. The problem doesn't lies with her nor the relationship...
...It's all about you.
This insecurity breeds like demon manifesting; it's nothing but your mind playing all sort of tricks on you. Your hidden phobia and fear - this extreme fear of being left alone by your ex of nine years always surface and haunt you, thinking that history WILL repeat itself and, you unknowingly, goes to fulfill this self-prophesy.
Have you ever realise why did your gf left you previously? Am I right to say that it's somewhere along this line that she left you... about her being squeezed emotionally and you 'repelling' her out of the relationship to breathe?
Frankly speaking, to see your partner as a ONE, solo, ultimate emotional pillar and to cling onto it like gold, would only serve to ruin the relationship eventually. This is a slight deviation from possessiveness, but runs the same result. There are ways to maintain such relationship, but it's not healthy and tends to suffocate relationship and hinder it's potential growth.
Inferior complex, low self esteem and negative outlook are probably a few common elements that exist in your psychological state. Your love attitude is equipped with an unloving quality about yourself and how definite your partner will leave you because there is simply nothing positive nor good you can retain your partner.
You panic and gripped your paws onto your love tighter, only to see it bleed further.***

Relationship deteriorates with you having no goals, no life outside your love while she has hers. Reason is simple: No woman would want her man to be like that. You must stand in equal with her in order to command respect from your love... in equal not as in career-wise or such, rather having ample understanding, trust, personal space. She gave you these qualities during your darkest times - where are yours then?
Love lives better when complement with personal life. Only then you can truely achieve much... even self actualization. Continue your own way of doing things will ONLY strangle this relationship with your own bare hands - like a deranged father killing its newborn child.

P.S: Are you a Cancer, Scorpio or Pisces?
