Thanks to one of the helpful members on this board, I was able to contact a hospital hotline and track her.

Good to hear that she's conscious, and I hope she gets better soon.

If your SO disappeared, you worried for days, then found out he/she was in the hospital (for whatever reason), would you HONESTLY put responding to this thread (where people also said nasty things while you were suffering with worry) in your top 100 list of things to do this week? Even if she is in the hospital for a relatively minor reason, his concern and need to focus on her welfare at the moment, vastly outweighs his need to respond to our curiosity, no matter how well intentioned.

If your SO dissapears, would you post on ATOT in the first place?

apparently so...
these people crack me up...

yah like Im gonna take the time to go to AT and say OH NOEZ~ my Dogs uncles girlfriends brother has gone missing someone help me call someone~!
oh nooooez!

if you really think you need to come here as part of your emergency procedures..
you really need to get a real life....


Well the guy got a hospital hotline number within a few minutes of posting here, which proved to be the most efficient method of contact, so I'd say it was a good decision on his part to post here.

People who cry out "Call 911" for everything that goes wrong don't have enough life experience to realize that 911 isn't the solution for everything (especially when it's minor on the emergency scale, as far as 911 is concerned)

You shouldn't have updated this thread, the assholes in here don't deserve it. It's like a fvcking retard convention for more than 75% of this thread. Anyhow, glad to hear your GF is okay and cheers to the person who actually helped you.

I never said call 911 (they would have told the user wtf are you calling us for) im not a fvcking dipsh!t like the op...
at 34 Im adult and smart enough to do my own homework and while it may involve the internet, it will not now, or ever involve airing my dirty laundry or asking a tech forum for help regarding a personal issue..

My GF lives in NYC. I heard from her last on Friday night before she was going to go out with some friends.

She hasn't come back to her apartment since.

I've tried getting in touch with some of her friends and got in contact with 1 person who hasn't since her since Thursday.

The last activity on her bank account was on early Friday evening. She hasn't checked her e-mail since then either.

There is the possibility that she might have dumped me but she's not the kind of person who do that without a phone-call. Also, that's no reason for her not to access her bank account or check her e-mail.

At this point, I"m only concerned about her safety.

I don't live in NYC and have never been in this kind of a situation before.

Should I call the police or the hospitals? I have no idea what to do next.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

She's been my girlfriend for 4 years and yes, in real life.

Why did I come to ATOT with this? Because there are helpful people here, people who may have experienced similar situations. I got the hotline number within a few minutes of posting.

Everyone who cared and was concerned, thanks - I appreciate it.

To the people who made a mockery of the situation, I hope that you never have to go thru a similar situation involving a loved one.

After reading Vonkhan's update to the thread, am I the only one who doesn't thing that the original post and response doesn't add up? :confused:

Well I'll start w/ the fact that Vonkhan has access to her bank & e-mail account, but is concerned about being "dumped." :confused:

I too would be glad that everything turned out fine for the OP; but I am still skeptical about the "whole" story IMO bootymac.

i think the dumping issue was a fleeting thought. all such things come to mind when you're in a panic. if he still had access to her bank account, chances are that she didn't dump him (and she didn't), so the mindset shifted to being concerned about his girlfriend's safety rather than about ending the relationship.

it adds up fine to me -- one million thoughts going through your head when you're worried is about normal.

I agree. I read that part of the initial post as him trying to preempt fvcktard responses about how she probably left him, because (AS HE SAID) he was mostly concerned with finding out if she was ok, not whether people on ATOT felt she was doing X, Y or Z.
