My Girlfriend is severly depressed.

...See more Hey, I‘m 19 years old and I’ve been dating my 18 year old girlfriend since 1 year. In this year i got to know her really well and i discovered that she is severly depressed, has suicidal thoughts and does selfharm. Her father left her and her family when she was little so she grew up only with her narcisstic mother which thinks depression is just a lazy excuse for weak people. The relationship between the two is very difficult since her mother always starts to fight with her when she does something she doesn’t agree with. She tries to controll her in any aspect in her life. She even tries to force her to go study something she doesn’t want to study at all. Until now she hasn‘t even noticed that her daughter is depressed and does selfharm. So she is very worried telling her and destroying there perfect picture of her since her family (mother and granpfather) have really high expectations. Until now i thought it would get better if I am there for her, help her in any way possible but still give her her space when she needs and asks for it. Since she’s doing a year abord i thought it would get better there since her mother isn’t around that mich anymore but I was wrong. Now we‘re at a point where I am really worried about her. I talked to her about getting therapy but she is worried about what other people say about her getting therapy. So we thought it would be best for her to talk only to her mom since she would be the one paying for the private therapy and ask here if she could tell no one. I offered I could do that since I somehow always had a good relationship with her mom. The year abord is ending in 1 month and she agreed that I could talk to her mom when she is back but only if I leave out the selfharm and suicidal thoughts. I think it‘s the only chance to get private therapy since we both are studends which can’t afford it on our own. I wanted to ask you for help or your opinion. Do you think it‘s a good idea. Thank you for your help in advance. :)
