I was involved briefly with this woman who is 30 years old. She is distraught because i've been telling her that im not interested in committing to anyone at this point in my life. She says that shes in love with me. But the fact is, she does not know me well enough to be in love with me and I certainly am not in love with her. She know's this and is not taking it lightly.

I want to be her friend but she is making it impossible. She keeps telling me how depressed she is and how she cries herself to sleep. I apologized for the fact that she's hurting and told her that I would love to be friends with her down the road when she heals. Last night she told me that she feel's like she want's to kill herself... And she is serious. What am I supposed to do? I made her make an appointment with a therapist but she can't get in until May. I feel responsible for her now. I called her last night and stayed on the phone to make sure she didnt do anything dramatic.

I really dont know what to do. The only thing thats going to make her happy is if I get into a relationship with her but I do not want to be with her. Im starting to get really annoyed at all of her whining, but when I EXPRESS that, she just gets even more upset. Should I just stick it out until May when she see's the doctor? This is stressful and I feel bad because I know how much depression can hurt. But I dont want her life resting on my shoulders.

I want to distance myself from her because I feel like, if she disconnects from me, she can be able to let go and heal. But when I try to do this, she takes it as me "not caring". I do care about her as a friend, I just can't keep watching her in pain when I know that im the reason.
