If you have a good friend named Kat(Cat), please reach out to her or find someone else to. She is severely depressed & I have no information to go on to try to track her down.
She'd been mildly active on twitter & reached out to me around 2 hours ago but I wasn't around at the time. I haven't seen any other activity.
I tweeted lots of info, links & the suicide hotline number but have no way to know if she'd checked in because there's been no activity on her account.
If you can help at all, I'd appreciate it!
Thanks Ali

Hi TuTu!
I've missed you! Hope you've been doing OK
She posted this morning simply "Thank you" at me. Didn't follow back any of the people I got to follow her. I've no idea what's up - can only hope that she's utilizing some of the resources I gave her.
The whole thing has seemed very strange - sort of "TaTa" (if you know what I mean ) Might be someone trying to get me to make myself look like an arse - who knows. *shrugs*

I would be careful about this person. You never know who is on the other side.
Also - it is a hard reality, but if this person is genuine, it is good to remember that you can only help someone if they want to be helped.

You can NEVER look like an arse when you reach out to help someone! If theyre not "genuine" thats on them not you. You have a kind and caring heart.
