Two years ago I made an online friend on another forum. I reached out to her because she was writing very depressing posts about ending her unbearable life. She's in her late 30's and has been suffering anorexia / bulimia most of her life, bingeing and purging relentlessly. Initially she wondered about my objectives, but we became quite close and personal in our discussions. We ended up following each other on instagram and spoke regularly there. Back in November she told me she was going to see a doctor about getting euthanised, as she just couldn't go on anymore that way she was and her body was in its final stages of trying to hang on. She lives somewhere in Italy and last responded to a message back in December. She hasn't responded to any further messages, and I fear she has passed away. She told me she lives alone (after living with her father for a while who was devastated about her condition and she didn't feel right putting him through that any more) in an apartment where nobody really knows her and wouldn't even realise if she passed away. I'm worried she has died alone and she won't be found until either the smell of decay attracts interest or her father tries to find her. She lives quite some distance from him and he is old and feeble. She knows how I care about her, but I can't do anything but wonder about her well-being.
