a suicide letter from a friend

deleted_user

A friend of mine received a suicidal letter from someone she knows last night asking her to take care of me and that one day she hopes everyone will forgive her and then she said bye bye. We have not heard from her since and are very concerned. We dont know her surname or where she lives and are at a loss to know what to do. I have had friends done similiar things in past and then they kileed themselves so i am struggling with this right now.I keep trying to contact her. struggling to stay positive and not give up hope. I dont know what else to do.

I am sorry poppy...I am not sure just why people do that...my son put his in his journal. So I did not see it until after he died and I read it.

Are they hoping against hope you will find it anyway, or are they just making sure you don't intrerrupt their plans?

I don't know.

But either way, don't blame yourself. You can only do as much as you can do.

Is this a friend on DS or soemone else?

Have you considered contacting the police? That might be difficult since you don't know her surname... I'm not sure there is much you can do, sweetie, until she is within your reach for you to console her. I hope and pray that the worst has not happened, and perhaps she was just giving a warning, an outcry for help. Please keep us posted, let us know how you're doing in this tumultuous time.
Lots of love and big hugs,

The good news is, more often than not, people don't follow through.

Is there a location in her profile? If you have her phone # can you do a reverse search?

Oh I am so sorry, I wish i could say something a little less contrived but i have never been in your situation ever. I am glad to help you and talk to you if ever you want to. But I just don't know what to say to make you feel better.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
