Do I walk away or stay

I just broke up with my gf a few weeks ago and we just decided that we would take a break from talking for a while, she's had such a rough past and I've gone through a lot of similiar things... We've been a huge source of support for each other but she's clocked out emotionally and she goes from being distant to being really jealous and needs my support but it's been really hard on me and when she gets down she doesn't have the strength to be there for me... She's texting me right now and I don't want to ignore her, I'm worried she will hurt herself or something to get my attention... What do I do.. What should I say if I do say something without making her feel bad...?

Please don't let anyone have a stronghold on you like that. If it were me, I would tell the person that you agreed that you both need a break for awhile which would include any form of communication. You have your own issues to deal with and having someone who is jealous and trying to guilt you into doing things you don't feel is right, that is not healthy. You know in both your gut and your heart what is the right thing to do for both of you, but mostly for you, right now. Please take care of you. Hugs

Thank u so much, I've been feeling that way but I care about her a lot and feel like if I don't step up and take care of her nobody will, but giving up is not the answer I think I just need to stand back for a bit then tell her that i will be her friend no matter what, thanks again

That is exactly what you need to do. Stand back for awhile and let both of you breathe and take care of your own issues. Maybe after that, things will work out for both of you. If not, it just wasn't meant to be. Hugs GB
