Man, I'm really sorry to hear all of this, it is definitely a worrisome situation. I don't really have much advice other than that eventually when you reconnect with your friend, she's going to need both support and a little tough love. You just have to remind her that when/if you say things like that she needs to stop contact with bombs guy or change phone numbers, usernames, etc. that it's not because you're trying to be mean or anything, but that you care and that she's got to cut the cord from him. I was in a couple of abusive relationships years ago and the hardest part is getting out, but you have to do it to save yourself. It's always scary at the time, but it'll never stop being scary if she doesn't get out. She will just live in mental and emotional turmoil.
I really hope that your friend is okay and please feel free to PM me if you ever need to talk further.

You have all the right to be concerned - I would be myself - and while I so wish I could give you good advice, all I can say is I hope for the very best.
Stay strong. And as had been offered before, I, amongst others, am also here to lend an ear.
Pardon me for not offering more.

hello everynyan
Do you know where your friend lives? Maybe try knocking on their door? Do you know if her parents know about the situation?
I think these are the possible scenarios:
- Maybe she got grounded and is being supervised by her parents
- She could have had a mental breakdown of some kind
- Maybe (hopefully) police got involved and are investigating the guy who is making suicide threats
I think your friend will be fine, hopefully. But if you can, try get in touch with her parents.

I would definitely take this information to a trusted adult, especially if she hasn’t been in school for a few days - a school would have reason to be concerned about a student not showing up for multiple days with no explanation. I think your concerns are valid, the guy she met online definitely sounds like a creep from the I information you’ve shared. If you are not comfortable telling an adult about the Bombs situation, I still think you are warranted in alerting someone to the fact that you and your friends have been unable to contact her for multiple days and that she has not been in school.

Is your friend on good terms with their parents? I know you said you didn't want to contact their parents, but could it be possible they've told their parents everything and their parents are letting them take some time off school to try to calm down/potentially deal with the situation?
I ask because I was in a similar situation in high school. After I quit talking to an online friend (who I stupidly told the name of my hometown to) a couple years later they added me on a social media account, and it freaked me out bad enough that I told my parents and wound up skipping school for that day. It's entirely possible your school already knows something of the situation and her absences are being excused. Either way, I do think it would be a good idea to ask her parents if you don't hear from her by tomorrow. If you go to someone at school they're gonna find out regardless, so it might be best to get them involved sooner rather than later.
I hope your friend is okay. I hope you're doing okay as well, this is a really scary situation to be in.

How are your school counselors? If you have good counselors at school, maybe talk to one of them as well? They may be able to help with next steps and also to help you with the stress of this. It's an awful situation, and I hope things work out well.

I'm really happy to hear that your friend is safe/alive. Does anyone in your mutuals have her mom's number? If so, I'd try contacting her, even though you aren't close. You'd be surprised how that might change in a situation like this, especially if she knows you're trying to help.

That might be a good idea. Your friend would be happy you care. She can’t use her phone in the psych ward (to my knowledge) although she possibly still has communication with her mother, in which case she might mention you reached out. I know we talked about it on Snap, but I’m following this thread for updates as well.

I understand. I wouldn’t want to be in an environment like that under any circumstance. I hope you can at least receive some sort of timeframe for how long she will be in there. I’m sure it isn’t fun for her, and to be helped you have to accept the help. I don’t see this being a good thing for her, especially since there are more efficient ways to deal with this, as I had previously mentioned. Regular therapy may have been the better option.
