Hello, hopefully I can get a fast reply - it is needed. I've recently broke up with my girlfriend, the only thing is, this is a long distance relationship, she lives VERY far away from me... anyway, I dumped her because she has become far too obsessive, I can't talk to any girls in real life or online, if I do then that means I am automatically cheating on her... she is emotionally blackmailing me because I no longer want her... I can't get in touch with her family so yeah. :/ /Please help?

If you don't know where she is just block her and move on with your life, because there's nothing else you can do except get manipulated into further contact.
Suicide threatening over a relationship is sometimes serious and sometimes not, depends on how unbalanced the person is. However, in all cases it is akin to a two year old banging their fists and feet on the floor and screaming at the top of their lungs for attention.
It doesn't matter what kind of attention they get, they just want to keep you from cutting them off and disappearing. They'll take positive or negative attention, and worse if you try to talk her down it's just more opportunity for her to drag you back in and probably to her a confirmation that "you care about her".
Block her phone, e-mail, every way she has to contact you. If you get a letter from her in the mail burn it. Change your phone number as soon as possible because as soon as you block one number she'll probably try to find another. Cut her out of your life like the cancer she is and realize that if she is actually insane enough to hurt herself over you the only thing you could have done to stop this shit is to have somehow magically picked up the scent of crazy before she ever got invested in you.
And if it makes you feel any better, 99/100 times the person who does this is literally just throwing a tantrum to get control back and will sulkily move on to the next object of their obsession when it becomes clear they can't even talk to you to try to suck you back in.

You will most likely be connected to the area 911 center. Tell the call taker of your concerns. They will assign an officer to check on her and to meet with her parents. [ adviceman49's advice column | Ask adviceman49 A Question ]
Xui answered Saturday August 20 2011, 2:33 am: This girl is trying to grasp sympathy and attention by threatening self bodily harm, This is her way of controlling and manipulating you. I am not trying to sound like a dick when I say this but if she does decide to harm herself it isn't your responsibility. Nobody really needs a self obsessive partner and here your "ex" girlfriend has crossed the line. You have dumped her, Good for you I seriously give you props for recognizing that this one is excessive baggage.
I'll be honest, Although anything is possible and self bodily harm should very well be taken seriously based on what posted above I'm just going to assume this girl is talk. However, I really think you should try and get in contact with the girls parents if you can and tell them what is going on. Remember though as much as it does suck she is putting stress on your shoulders.....Dude if she does decide to do anything then it really is nothing more but her self insanity speaking. Nobody can be held responsible if they dumped a person as nobody is entailed to live out of misery. Also, There isn't a whole hell of a lot someone can do to prevent things in such distant anyway.
