Alright, so I've talked about this a little on here but for those unaware, I'll bring you up to speed. My friend I've known for 17 years has not been well these past few months. She made a now deleted video on Youtube where she spoke about her various experiences that shaped her into the woman she is today. These experiences include talking to the Devil, being groomed by the leader of a Satanic cult, practicing black magic, shapeshifting into different creatures, and drug abuse. She claimed to have been reborn as a child of God and warned everyone that Judgment Day was rapidly approaching. Many of us would die and very few, including her, would be allowed into Heaven. Over the next several days, she talked about red skies at night and mysterious howling that signaled the end days. She also claims people were coming to kill her for speaking the truth and they already broke into her house.

This was back in May. I made two topics and got some advice. I contacted her and did my best to talk to her since we go way back. There wasn't much I could say as everyone else tried talking to her Grandma whom she lives and and getting a wellness check on her. None of it worked so people started to leave her be. I was unsure how to approach so I remained friendly and kept the conversation lighthearted and in good spirit.

Fast forward to now, I'm seeing a bunch of posts over my social media feed on people coming clean about their experiences with her. Turns out she made a very long post accusing a lot of people of either raping, sexually assaulting, or abusing her. She claimed they had child pornagraphy of her. She claims to have been blackmailed. She claims a lot with no evidence. Over 25 people were named by her and she said there were still many more she left out. I personally know some of these people.

It's a gargantuan stretch for her to say this many people made her a victim. She's only 21. Supposedly, this all started when she was 3. I'm all for listening to victims but this is unbelievable. Given her mental issues, I don't think much of this is true at all. I'm sure some of these stories did happen but all of them? No. As of right now, everyone has turned on her and she's went completely dark. I can't reach out even if I wanted to. It would be pointless as she's blocking everyone who asks her if she's okay and needs help.

I don't know how to proceed. She refuses to seek help and continues to torpedo her life. Back when I knew her, she was incredibly smart, thoughtful, and very nice. She would see me in public and run to me with a huge smile on her face while giving me the biggest of hugs. I don't know if it was the drugs or if she developed mental issues somewhere along the way that made her into the person she is today. The events that have transpired and all of her actions just leave me feeling depressed. My childhood friend is in dire need of serious help and I can do nothing but watch as she loses herself. People have tried everything possible to help her but she doesn't want help. She thinks her "time" is coming up soon anyways.

I saw a recent picture of her before she nuked her social media. She went completely bald and doesn't look like she's all there anymore mentally. This blows.

That's my rant.

This. If she refuses to heed your advice and change or even just realize how fucked up her life is compared to the norm, then she is a lost cause. I know these things are probably what you don't want to hear TC, but it's the truth. Cut her out of your life and stay away from her, because by trying to helping her, despite her not wanting to put in any personal effort to actually change and elevate herself out of that situation, you're just enabling her bad behavior and destructive lifestyle in a way. Looks like she is going to need to hit rock bottom for her to open her eyes.

cut off all contact. judging by the mental downward spiral she's in, she'll off herself once enough stop giving her attention, so just focus on not getting rape allegations thrown your way

This. That's more than enough reason to avoid her like Covid19, the Black Plague, etc..

It's understandable that I should avoid her. I haven't attempted to contact her as I would not even know what to say. I imagine she'll block me anyways as she did everyone else who tried. All I can do is hope she realizes she has a problem and seeks help. That possibility diminishes with each passing day, though.

Even after all the accusations, people still want her to get help and become better. Her former best friend even said after all the hurtful insults and emotional trauma she caused, many people she hurt still loved her and wished only the best for her.

This whole situation is just depressing, man.

Based on her age, she may have just hit the point in her life where latent mental issues with schizophrenia become apparent. I wouldn't necessary say to cut her out of your life, but definitely make it clear that you think she needs to pursue mental health treatment or you cannot continue to have a friendship with someone who is being so self destructive for your own sake.

edit: though I should say that having poor mental health later on life is pretty typical of people who were raped, assaulted, or abused as children, and while this would still absolutely require her to seek treatment, it could very well be that there is some truth to at least some of what she is claiming happened to her.

This topic made me sad, mental illness is awful. It's horrible to see a friend go down like that. I'm sorry to hear this.

Yeah, I am not a doctor but that thought crossed my mind when TC first posted about her. It's sad, but you can't force someone to get help if they don't want it. I really hope she gets the help she so obviously needs, though.

It's sad but you need to stop trying to contact her, otherwise you will end up on that list of people she's accusing.

The only way Ill talk to her at this point is if she contacts me first and says shes seeking treatment. Ive never been involved with her intimately but its still a risk.

Even if she was doing well, this would be impossible for me. She only likes white men.
