For the longest time, I tried to muster up the courage to break up with her, and I finally did it about a week ago. The relationship was just overbearing and I had to do so many things for her that I was left exhausted. All the feelings I had for her evaporated a long time ago, even though I still felt like she was a close friend.
However, she continued to message me. Every day. I didn't want to block her because she was a mess and I know she dealt with suicidal ideation before. Worse than that, she kept showing up at my house randomly, uninvited, asking for random shit and asking me if she could have dinner here. She also refused to take what was left of her things with her, I assume, so that she would have yet another excuse to come here.
She insisted to have another serious talk, and after much begging on her part and in a moment of weakness (I was exhausted from dealing with all this shit), I told her we could try again in a different way. With more distance and less demands.
But this was a mistake. I feel miserable now that I'm back together with her, regardless of cirscunstances. I want to break up with her again even though it's been only 1 day.
What the fuck should I do bros? I feel like it's going to be worse this time around. And she's definitely going to keep showing up at my house.

Dude, you’ve already made the hard choice once — don’t let guilt or exhaustion pull you back into something that’s draining you.

Here’s the play:

1. **Be firm and clear.** Tell her again you’re done, no “try again” or “maybe.” Keep it short, no room for negotiation.

2. **Set boundaries.** Tell her no more uninvited visits or messaging. If she breaks it, you need to block and maybe even consider legal steps (like a no-contact order) if she keeps showing up.

3. **Don’t engage emotionally.** She’s using you for comfort and control. It’s not your job to fix her, especially at your expense.

4. **Get support.** Tell a trusted friend or family member what’s going on, so you’re not dealing with this alone.

5. **Take care of yourself first.** Your mental health and peace come before anyone else’s drama.

If she’s really struggling with suicidal thoughts, encourage her to get professional help — but *that’s not your responsibility to manage.* You’ve done enough.

Stay strong, stick to your boundaries, and don’t fall back into the same trap. You deserve peace.

How about you have some balls and dump her again. And be serious about it. Don't respond when she texts, and when she shows up be brief and then tell her to leave.
>Can I eat dinner here
>No

Bro be the Man you are. Ignore her, mute her on everything, take her shit and place it in front of her door then push the bell and run away (do it when she's at home so it cannot be stolen). Always look through the camera or window when somebody rings ur door if its her ignore, stay away from locations she could find you (for a while at least). as the guy above me said, make boundaries and stand by them
