Quora, Suicide, and Toxic relationships.

My Quora Answer to:

I told my boyfriend I was having thoughts of suicide today and his reaction was to get all upset and threaten to leave me. What do I do?

DO NOT KILL YOURSELF! Suicide is never an option. That you told someone else shows the strength of your character. The way he reacted shows his lack of one.

My advice is threefold. First, call the Suicide Prevention Hotline at 1-800-273-8255. Now. Before you even finish reading my Answer.

My second piece of advice is to ditch him. He is toxic and no one needs toxic people in their lives. He proved his toxicity by his response.

Thirdly, move on. Get better. And thrive. Find meaning in your life. Do soulwork. Help others, which is BTW, the best way to help yourself.

Blessings, good luck, and positive energy to you. You deserve it. And thanks for asking! ♥️

Addendum:
I just found out that Quora automatically adds more details about the Suicide Hotline onto questions about suicide. Or perhaps automatically because I mentioned it. Either way, well-played.
