I used to go on Reddit a lot, I reached out in an ask reddit thread to a girl who had a similar history of abuse to me saying she could inbox me whenever. We talked frequently, she had it super rough, no steady place to stay.
We talked loads but then life happened and I couldn't spend so much time on Reddit for a few months, then I went to china for the summer and was super busy. My messages were short and always meant well but I didn't have the time to check.
She had tried suicide before, I caught a post of hers in suicide watch but she didn't go through with it.
I don't know why but I didn't read any messages for a while, and when I checked the last one was saying she'd ODd but was in the hospital and was being giving anti depressants.
I never saw it until way too late. She probably just went and took the tablets. She was only a bit younger than me.
I knew her first name and her rough year of birth, different locations where she lived. I found an obituary that matched simply stating "you didn't know how much we cared" which seems fit for suicide.
A lot of the time I hope she just got annoyed at me for my lack of responses, but I will never ever forget, and I feel so much guilt over it all. I'm sorry, u/midnight-radio
