Hi all.
Hopefully someone can maybe guide me here. A friend of mine who has fallen on extremely hard times has reached out to me, for over a few weeks now we have been meeting up in different locations so I can see how she has been.
In all honesty she has not been doing well, on Sunday we met up and she said to me that she was vomiting like black blood and she could taste blood in her mouth, apparently she took an overdose of medication. On the way to the hospital with me she told me her son wasn’t well so I had to bring her back to her car.
She then phoned me crying and said she has a few health issues going on and then hung up, I asked her on several occasions can she make
to the park, she said yes, I said that’s fine I’ll wait here for you. 10-20 minutes past and there was no sign of her.
At 11:58pm she sent me a txt saying ‘Don’t message me again’
On Monday she reached out but the txt messages were scary, one read ‘please help me I want to end the pain please help me’.
I asked her on several occasions to send me her location, so I could get to her she kept deflecting this and went on to help me etc.
A little later I believed it was necessary to contact the police as she wasn’t replying at all, the police did get in contact with her very quickly, she sent me a few messages saying along the lines of how could you do this, you’ve broken my trust etc.
She has two young children which I was more concerned about, her children need a mother I their lives, not one laying in a coffin.
Ultimately I had no other choice she stated she took tablets and would not tell me where she was so I could go to her and get her the help she needs. Unfortunately I don’t know if she took tablets or not, she stated that she did although when she was with me she didn’t take anything at all, at this stage she was refusing to drink water or any form of liquid. She stated she lost 14lbs in the space of a few days but there was no noticeable weight loss, if someone was to lose that much weight you would certainly notice it.
Do you think I done the right thing? I honestly am scared incase it causes more harm than good.
