My girlfriend is really struggling with her mental health at the moment. I don't really know how to help her, I know she posts on this site not sure if it's this forum.
I just wanted her to know I'm here if she need me

I think that is great that you are supportive. I think the best thing is to get professional help, do what you can to help her get to therapy appointments, try to stay positive and help her try new things if old stuff is not working. Also, take care of yourself because we with mental health issues know that caretaking/support is not an easy role.
I wish you both peace, hope, and strength.
1st of all, I think its amazing that you have your gfs back like this, thats hard to come by anymore. Seems like now if you mention you have mental health issues, people avoid you like the plaque. Over my many years of dealing with this mental crap I found that you need distractions or hobbies, hell even just trying something new. I cant even tell you how many hobbies I picked up over the years, now its not a permanent solution but it does help ease it some, n for most of us facing these mental health demons, thats all we could hope for. Just a lil break from it, something to try n take our minds off of what's keeping us down in the 1st place. To be honest, I know with me at least, if someone asked me what they could do to help, I would have no clue what to tell them. In my opinion, the best thing you can do for her is tell her face to face that you know that she's struggling n that you wish you knew the right thing to say or do to help ease the mental anguish, but the only thing you know how to do n will always do, is to never let her go at it alone or feel like she's all alone. But don't forget to take care of yourself in the process. Because those of us that have mental health issues aren't easy to deal with
