Hi! I apologize for answering late because my Advicinators emails keep going to the junk folder :(
First of all, please do not commit suicide. As amazing as it seems to have a way out, it isn't the answer. 3 years ago I almost did it, and I'm glad I didn't. I have a good life now that I wouldn't have had if I was dead.
Secondly, I'm so sorry for your loss. I can't imagine the pain you're going through, and I realize how strong the need is to want to be with him. My advice is to live one day at a time, take a lot of time for self-care, and focus on what you're able to do. Realize that you are grieving and coping the way you know how, but that suicide is not going to help or make things better.
Your partner was wrong to tell you those things, because they aren't true. No one can truly be a direct cause for someone committing suicide, unless they told someone to kill themselves or aided in the process. People are unpredictable, and when someone goes through with it, it's extremely difficult to stop it.
I truly hope things get better for you, and please feel free to message me any time.

In the past number of months, I have had a couple...I don't know what to call them...I think they might be panic attacks or anxiety attacks or something?
I have what my therapist calls a "mild mood disorder", I'm not sure if people are familiar with the term, but basically it's like depression but less severe.
Anyways, there have been a couple times where I have been in situations that normally would make me slightly uncomfortable/upset (ex. packing to go to university, working on a group project where the group members didn't agree on things) which I reacted to in ways which scared me. It starts with feeling uncomfortable, then I want to cry. My throat tightens up, I start breathing really shallowly. I feel trapped, and I can't think rationally enough to figure out what I need to feel better. Sometimes I start feeling sick or lightheaded.
I don't what these are. I haven't told my therapist about them, I probably should, but it just hasn't come up.
Anyone know what is happening to me? What can I do to prevent/stop these? (link)

That is most definitely sounding like anxiety. I have a psychology degree and can't exactly diagnose over the internet, but what you're dealing with sounds like the definition of an anxiety or panic disorder. Both the physical and mental symptoms can be terrifying, but I was so glad to read that you have a therapist. He/She might mention medication to manage your symptoms, but you always have a choice. Please do tell your therapist about your symptoms though, so then you can plan a course of action and talk about it. Best of luck and hope something helps! Update me if you feel like it soon.

I've been having dreams about having sex, or sexual related experiences with people. what could this mean? I've never had a wet dream, if there's anything i could do about this i'd atleast want to be able to control the dream ;P
thanks. (link)

This could simply mean that you are craving some sort of connection or attention. If you're in a relationship, this is your mind's way of telling you that you want to experience a closeness with your significant other. If you're single, this may mean that you want a relationship and want to be able to show someone your true self. I've studied dreams a lot, so if you have any more questions, the name's Hollywood22 :)
Hope this helps!
