My girlfriend is a lot to handle. Shes depressed, has weak lungs, a bad heart, pre-diabetic, nearly anorexic, and has a stomach condition that causes her to vomit blood regularly. She even tried to overdose on prescription pills back in april.
I work tirelessly to try to make her happy, which I am fairly successful so far. But now shes trying to argue with me that she should be able to cut herself because it feels good. I don't even know how to argue with her against it. It boggles my mind why she can't see why I don't want her doing that.
I don't know how to handle this..
Despite all her problems shes a very sweet girl and very loving. I just have a hard time handling her when she gets depressed.
What should I do? How should I convince her to not cut herself?
Beat it out of her...
No serious why is she your problem? We pair up to be happy and to make each other better. Fuck her and she can ruin someone else's life

Those are all non issues the real issue is she cantold handle being in control of her life and taking responsibility and not being a victim all the time. My girlfriend had the same issue and I can tell you it's a personal choice. She had to choose to be different. All you can do is be patient and hope. If you are patient like I am then one day you will probably be happy together, until then you adapt or you could give up and there's no shame in that
Also chances are you have issues too which is why you feel like she's your only choice. Maybe I'm projecting

If so then it's very ironic.
Self harming is a sad addicting thing, she needs professional help with your support on the side. If you don't feel strong enough to be with her then of course youre well being is your first importance when it comes to things like this. Someone suffering from bad mental health can only start getting better by helping themselves first.
My bf doesn't know what to with me either but I think we've come to the conclusion that I just need him to calm me down and distract me from the problems he's unable to fix in the moment because again it's not his nor your responsibility unless you are the problem (?)

Get a medical or mental healthcare professional.

This! Be her boyfriend not her doctor, you're not qualified and all your good intentions won't change that.

Break up with her and make her fix her own shit

Fuck, I was just looking for this so I could post it.
Get your shit together OP only the broken can fix themselves.

This. It's sad but broken people bring it upon themselves and unfortunately drag everyone around them down with them. Tell her you're breaking up with her and that's that.

There is a flu and then there are mental illnesses nobody can cure at all.
