Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.

Your university should have somebody who can help you with this as well.
As for your work, can you tell them that this man is stalking you, and that you would appreciate it if he is not permitted to get to your work area?
As for the ending it thing, please exercise your RIGHT to end it and do so. Threatening suicide is one way that controlling creeps try to extend their control over others. If he threatens suicide again, tell him that you are not responsible for his actions. Keep your statement simple and to the point. If he pushes you to explain keep your story the same, word for word. Controlling people try to get you to change your story, for any reason, then they work to turn your words around.
Gentle hugs
And I can only dream of taking a year off. My family will have my head if I do. :(
@ThePepperMan - Yeah, I need to get a restraining order, desperately. I'll text her later today; she might help.
And I have told them. The university, my bosses (who also work for the university), everybody. They say that they can't (or rather won't) do anything unless he confesses to what he's done, which he hasn't. He thinks he's perfect and can't do any wrong.
I'll keep that in mind. I really want to tell him to fuck off. I'm afraid he'll strangle me or rape me if I go near him, though, and the emails I've sent him aren't exactly working.
I just don't understand why he so badly wants to hurt me.
Ask the police woman for some resources. My first thought is a woman's shelter may be able to help you understand what your options are, and how to go about it. Confronting him directly may not be good, no matter how wrong he is. Avoiding being hurt by him is a good plan.
I got one for you girl and it is a duzzie. I got a judge that likes to call me in on contempt and get his self abused, verbally that is. finally got him set it for trial and then wrote the DA office, gave them the particulars and asked if they are going to prosecute. I know it is nothing like what you are going through but get this..."some people are so just stuck on stupid" they can't understand words. SO, you have to get some one else to talk to them.
remember what ever you do just keep it safe.
I'll keep your advice in mind. I have been working towards finding a solution, and I think I've got it. Hopefully.
@doghunter59 - Puppies are also capable of contracting rabies.
Thank you very for much your advice, and your story. I'll keep them both in mind. Sorry you had to deal with the "stuck" people; I'm glad to hear you gave that judge what-for.
@Sadsap - Thank you for reaching out to me; I greatly appreciate it. I hope you don't give up either. I wish I had a reason to stay here. All I have to keep me here is my baby turtle, and some dying hope that things will be better soon.
