So, background. So I met a girl a couple weeks ago, and we've been talking a lot. I'm 21, shes 17. We haven't hung out because she lives a few states away. She lives by herself, her parents died a couple years ago. She has enough money from her inheritance to live comfortably for some time. She also does a lot of drugs, and she drinks way too much. She ODed a week ago. I found out about it after she went to the hospital. She told me she was shooting a speedball (heroin and coke). Now we've only been talking for a few weeks but she knows alot of things about me that other people dont, and I know a lot about her that others don't either. A couple days ago though she kind of just stopped talking to me. I text her and I get no response or at best an "I'm fine." She has some emotional issues that she hasn't worked out, but I'm worried that if I can't help her soon, shes going to die.

She isn't very safe about what she does, and when I talk to her about it, she says she wouldn't care if she did die. And that I would be sad for a few minutes and get on with my life. I think she knows saying stuff like that really hurts me because she knows I care for her, but she keeps trying to push me away, to make me not care. I'm worried about how depressed she is, and how nothing makes her happy. Not for any extended period of time at least. She used to be very athletic and popular before her parents died and I think maybe she regrets losing all of that. I text her fairly often, even if I can't think of anything to say because I want to check up on her and make sure shes not dead. But now that she isn't talking to me, I can't even do that. I'm just not sure what I can do to help her, and I really care about her.

She doesn't have a lot of friends and she seems to feel very isolated and alone. I still don't even know if she believes me when I say I care about her. She told me a few days ago that she didn't. She talks about dying like she's ready, but I refuse to believe she can be ready to die at age 17. I won't leave her on her own, no matter what she does to me because I know if I don't try to help her, no one else will and I really think she deserves a chance to live a happy life, she hasn't had much happiness recently. I'm just not sure how to show her the beauty in life when she doesn't want to see it. I appreciate whatever advice you can give, and know that giving up and walking away just aren't an option, no matter what.
