I been dating this guy named Josh on and off since 1999.We break up and get back together more times than i can count.I go a month or so not calling him and then I break down and call him out of the blue.I am on medication for my urges to call Josh and my mood swings.How do I stop breaking down and calling Josh out of the blue.We always break up and get back together more times than I can count.Josh keep telling me he wants to die and he will kill himself.Why do I keep doing this to myself by going back to him?

If you were REALLY unhappy in this relationship you wouldn't go back to him no matter how crazy you might be. There's some sort of comfort level that you're running back to.
Well, it sounds like you're bipolar and he's depressed (from the loose information you included). Josh needs to get some help. I know it sounds bad and but he does.
I'm bipolar and I've done better since they gave me some medication. I used to threaten murder and suicide interchangeably on a daily basis. I don't anymore.
get your heads sorted out and you'll work out fabulously, I'm sure of it. [ pseudophun's advice column | Ask pseudophun A Question ]

I'm sorry to hear that. It seem like the bothe of you need to get into some type of counseling. YOu need to stay strong and take a break from each other and get your lives together; both mentally and psychologically.
Anyone who constantly saying they are going to kill themselves needs immediate help. I hope he has someone around who can help him with this, but it is not you. YOu need to take care of yourself.
If you really care about him and yourself, you will do this for the both of you. This is a serious situation. I hope this made sense and I helped you.
Good luck to the both of you,
