Thanks, Nora. I know I can't force her. She doesn't really sound adamant against getting help, just sort of "yeah, sure, whatever..." types of reactions. The text she just sent said everything sucks and she can't take it anymore. I don't think she is suicidal, but if she doesn't answer her phone soon, I'm going to have to do something. I've known her family since I was little, so yeah, they know me.
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

cereal to add: {{sj}} I know it's frustrating to feel this helpless. When I was in a similar situation I got very angry as well, and was pulled into her psychodrama and I eventually had to cut her off, because sure, she could choose to live unhealthily, but I could choose if I got dragged down in it.
Um, but it sucked, and it's hard of course. Last resort measures. Hopefully being honest and supportive will work in your situation.

She's never cut me off in all my years of depressiveness, despite how much I know it often sucked for her. I can't cut her off either.

Maybe not the best move, but I sent her an e-mail saying I need to hear from her within the next hour or I'm calling everyone I know in the city in which she lives to check on her. She knows I'm crazy enough to do it, so unless she is really in trouble, she'll get back to me.

sj, I hope she's okay and things go well.
Humm. You remind me. I wanted to go henna-red again. But what cassia is, exactly?
Cassia = senna. It's another plant-based conditioner.

She responded to my e-mail, and she says she is ok right now. I'm still trying to encourage her to talk to her doctor about everything.

I'm sorry to freak out in the thread like that. I can't take anymore badness for the people I love right now, and friends do not send friends texts like that and then not answer their damn phone.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

That's a very good point. Sending an alarming text and not answering the phone is just asking for concerned friends and family to take action....
