Friend is being manipulative and won't let me go
Relationship Stress / by howunfortunate

...See more I am having an issue with a friend of mine. To make long story short,we met in winter and then started getting closer in spring time. I enjoyed talking to her and we got pretty close but as soon as it happens she started feeling more for me,which I could not for her. Since then we still stayed friends. We faught a lot and then got along again,usually because she said something like "you can't leave, it hurt me that you don't love me the same way but leaving will hurt more". A time ago she told me about her self harm issues and how it was about me. She keeps messaging me everyday about how bad she feels- with me being one of the reasons- and yet she didn't want me to leave (I told her it would be better for both of us because it's toxic). To sum things up for you,I can't stay but I also can't leave since she kept saying She will do more self harm and I am afraid she will eventually try to take her life away or think about doing it. I really don't know what I am supposed to do at this point. I just wish we never met. I don't have joy being around her anymore but also I don't won't you to think I care only when she is fine,because I truely tried to help her and make her talk to a professional,yet her strict relationship with her parents is too much for that to happen. Please tell me what the right thing to do is,I feel hopeless. I can't save her if I am one if the reasons for the pain and I don't want the friendship to be about this only
