PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[confused456]

I normally would NEVER do this, BUT, I just got a personal message from a friend that I am VERY worried about!! PLEASE respond to let her know that we are here for her and this is NOT a losing battle!! She CAN do this!!! The only reason that I am even writing this is because the message actually has me scared!

[louise65]

well done you, you are a real friend to this person, she will thank you for it. i did want to just add that if you get in this situation again and you feel or know she has taken or done something to harm herself dont be afraid to call the authorities, they will be caring with her and get her the help she needs and you may just save her life, take care you have done a great job.

awesome....glad it all is working out then!  as i said, i'm not on this forum much anymore (not because i don't want to be, just have gotten so much busier with the kids and baseball and softball seasons with my husband gone a lot)....so i have no idea who you might be talking about or anything about what happened or anything at all....i'm totally clueless, so don't worry about giving anything away to me!  but, if you ever have a question about the/a particular country and want to pm me, maybe i could help that way, too....just a thought....?

my hubby travels to just about every country in europe (lots to england, france, germany, belgium), japan, china, india mostly....and will be starting up going to moscow shortly....so i know alot about country codes, lol

anyway, SO glad to hear that you got in contact eventually and so far, all is well....prayers DO help! :-)

[confused456]

not by phone, no but she tried texting me and it wouldn't work either so she is checking on it tomorrow. I don't wanna give the country for fear it will give away who she is and she knows now that I posted and is fine with that but would like this day to remain known as "my friend" and nothing more. I respect that. Thank you for your help and concern!! You all are great!!!

hey, guys, i am soooooooo sorry i disappeared after i posted....i'm not on here much anymore....and i just popped on for a minute this afternoon (or morning, or whenever that was!) and then had to leave to go get my kids....then got busy with homework, practices, blah blah blah....never got back on....never even had my cell phone turned on (sorry, joann!) or i would have gotten your phone call....arrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

i'm so sorry,but it sounds like all's well that ends well....at least for now....at least today....did you ever manage to get through to her via phone call????  what country were you calling?  depending upon the country, i might have been able to help....my hubby travels all over the place....

anyway, glad to hear things are status quo for the time being....thank God!

[joann1975]

Now I can cook dinner in peace...well, not peace but relieved.....However, I am going to keep her & you confused in my prayers...again you are a great person and she is lucky to have you as a friend and I am sure she is a great person as well. I hope she starts feeling better soon!


There are some awesome people on this forum! I am glad I found it!

[confused456]

Thank you all!!! I got the promise that she will not do anything to hurt herself!!!!!!!!!!!
I am sooooooooo relieved!!!!!!!!
I KNOW she will keep her word on that. WHEW!! Now, I can breathe again.....LOL

Thank you all so much!!!!

[mommy52713]

confused I am sorry your friend is having such a hard time. I will pray that she is ok and let me know if I can be of any help.

[confused456]

I just heard from her via PM, she tried to rest but I think she is dealing with a migraine from all the crying but she "sounds" a little better which is good. I thank you all and will keep you updated!! Thank you so much, especially you Joann!!!!!!!

[joann1975]

j33...you can msg me anytime also...i am here more during the daytime...evenings are more hectic for me!

[confused456]

Thanks Mike, I tried that. I will keep trying.

j33....you can message me anytime. There are a lot of great ppl here!!!!!!

[j33]

gee, sitting here reading all this is making me feel better about coming to this site, i hope that doesn't sound selfish! but i hope i can find you two when i'm feeling down and out(or more down and out)  ;(

[Mikeinthesouth]

look in the phome book for country code dial a 011 before the country code then the number. Some numbers abroad have more digits to them as cell phones are everywhere even more more over seas. Mike

[confused456]

I am now frustrated!! I called the operator and she said to dial 011 and I did and it did not work so I called the operator again, gave her the number and she said to omit the "0" that my friend put in the front of her number and try again, and I keep getting a busy signal!! GGGGRRRRRRR

[confused456]

I checked and it says the last message was an hour ago so I know it has been at least an hour and maybe more. I think I am going to call. Thanks!!

[sadinmichigan]

Hey my friend..I am so sorry about all if this..I saw the post earlier and have been praying for her..(my internet has been up and down all day)..Please tell her that i care too . I think you should just call..if she is feeling that bad it is hard to ask for help..I am glad that she has contacted you though..That is a good thing..I will continue to pray for her..you are doing the best you can so don't feel guilty..your a great friend and I am glad she reached out to you..xo

[worried878]

hopefully she will read the posts and know she is im our prayers....nothing is worse than doing something in a moment or phase of depression...everything is always better with time

[joann1975]

I would call...but that is just me. I hate to be left hanging. Don't feel guilty. I don't have the slightest idea who it is and I couldn't guess if I tried to be honest. Is it you? LOL

If you call her let me know what you find out please! I am still praying!

[confused456]

Awwww....thank you so much but I am feeling somewhat guilty for posting even though I don't mention who it is, I still feel bad about it. I just didn't know what else to do. I think I am going to call soon because she only said an hour she was going to lay down and I have to check when her last message to me was but I am sure it has been over an hour but I don't want to wake her if she was able to rest........what do you think??

[joann1975]

Ok I was just curious. Please keep me updated.

I understand cost doesn't matter when it comes to helping a friend in these types of situations. By the way she is SO lucky to have you. You are a wonderful person and an awesome friend. I shudder to think where she would be if you weren't there for her and she is this bad off. Good for you for being so kind, loving and caring!

[confused456]

She is not using, but she did mention that she feels as if she is fighting a losing battle. No, I haven't tried to call. I figured since she made me that promise, I will let her rest and give her a little time. If I do not hear from her within the amount of time she gave me, I will call. She wouldn't give me her number again because she is worried about the cost, but to me, there is no PRICE for my friends!!!! Thank you for all of your help and I know you are also worried so I will keep you updated.

I also know its not WD, and not a relapse but I do think a relapse is a very good possibility because she is in a lot of pain. Physically and emotionally.

[joann1975]

Thank you...that is sweet. May I ask...is she still using and this is just a depression thing or problem in her life or is it possible part of wds or a relapse?

did you try and call her?

[confused456]

No the last thing she said is that her head was about to explode from all the crying....I can relate!!....and that she needed to lie down but she would get ahold of me if "anything".....so I am holding her to that!!

You ARE a wonderful person! I could tell that from the very first note you left for me!!!
