writes: I have been with my girlfriend for over a year now. We have even moved in with eachother because we were so much in love. Recently I have been questioning the relationship because of her irresponsible use of medication when trying to cope with stress. I want to be there for her, but the fact that she severely over-medicated herself scared me because I thought that if she did it again, she might accidentally kill herself.We have talked about it, and she assures me that it won't happen again, but I am not sure if this is the relationship for me anymore.What should I do?

Is it only the problem with the medication that is worrying you?
If it is only the medication and you truelly love her and have a good, happy relationship otherwise; I suggest you convince her to get counselling regarding the medication and other ways of dealing and coping with stress;
where and how does she get the medication; is it prescribed by a doctor; why and what is she stressing about so badly?

So at the first sign that she might have a problem with something in her life - you want out?
You should leave this girl now because you are obviously only with her for the good times. You'll be doing her a favour as then she can find a boyfriend who really loves her and cares about her and will be there for her when she needs it.
Good Luck!! xx

i doubt if you are telling all. there must be other reasons than this. also are you saying that she has started overdosing? if so, she needs to see her doc asap.
you need an honest chat with her... but dont do it until you are sure in your head and heart.
after you want all, you want someone to help build your life, not drag you down.
