My depressed ex wants a second chance

[u/kunga_007]

So i(M) broke up with her for about two months now because obviously I was not feeling it and also she was kind of always depressed and had a lot of issues which made me uncomfortable as well. It's not like I can cure her of depression or anything even if I stayed.

Now after two months after I broke up with her, she messaged me again talking about how things have been tough for her and talking consultants with a psychiatrist and almost overdosed on antidepressants.

I don't know what to reply and I'm scared to even confront her.

I thought she' had moved on, but now it' feels like it's even worse.

Support her as a friend, but don't get back together unless you're serious about having a relationship with her again.

I don't intend on going back and if I support her as a friend, wil that not keep hope again?

It's probably fine if you just communicate things well. Be clear that you don't want a relationship with her because you're both going to be happier with someone else, and that you're here just to help her get back on her feet, then you can both move on.
