I'm unhappy in my relationship and would like to leave her.
The problem is, I think she's going to react extreme and illogically. I'm afraid she'll start stalking me, as I havd found her outside of my house uninvited before. I'm afraid she'll exploit me by sending my nudes to people I know. I'm afraid of general harassment.
I'm also afraid for her. She's had a life full of mental hardship, and has taken therapy for a while before we met.
We're both young and I don't want to squander everything I have by staying with her.
What do I do?

Forgot to mention that once before I threatened to leave her, I blocked her number, she went to my friend and started to call me through it.
Maybe I'm too much of a pussy. She's really manipulative.

break up with her immediately and cut all contact. change your phone # again if you think it's necessary. tell her that you're done and you need to be alone, and that if she tries to contact you or hang around your house, you will call the police.
if you're worried about her distributing nudes, you can either inoculate people you know by telling them about them beforehand, or you can claim they're photoshopped (a lie, but might work). you can even do this before you break up with her, then tell her that you told everybody already. she may mention them to a couple people you know, but she probably won't bother to try sending them to everybody.

tell your friends you are going to be breaking up with her and you don't want contact. make absolutely sure they know you're serious. be assertive. if they allow you to contact her through them, drop them as a friend and cut contact with them too. sounds extreme, but you have to be ruthless when cutting crazy people out of your life.
if you're worried you will start to get sentimental or that she will manipulate you, then you need to physically write down a list of all the shit she's done to you. every time you think about letting her back in your life, look at it. remind yourself that it will be a repeat of last time, because it will. then remind yourself that if you got sick of it once, you will certainly get sick of it again.
stay strong OP, you can do it.

oh yeah and if she has a key to your place, remember to change your locks. if you talk to your neighbours, let them know she's not supposed to be hanging around your place and to let you know if they see her there. if you're renting, let your landlord know too.
As cold as this sounds: your own life is all you control. If she can't handle a breakup, refer her to a health care professional.
Change your number, and be prudent who gets the new one. If you need a restraining order, get one.

Get ahold of her phone and delete nudes first, then break up. Also change number by the sounds of things.
