Ruftin, I agree with your advice but I would just like to caution Brushedaluminum that at this difficult time when his girlfriend has such a fragile state of mind he needs to be strong for her and let her know he's there for her WITHOUT threatening her in any way, giving her the false impression that she cannot show she is weak in front of him. What is not in the best interest of anyone is for his girlfriend to start hiding actions (potentially life threatening ones) or feelings from him because he had given her an ultimatum that she needs to "stop it right away" or "immediately show signs of improvement". Getting over severe depression does NOT work so quickly...
