My boyfriend is missing

Tenoreo90

I know this is completely off-topic, but this is the one community I feel I can talk to.

My boyfriend suffers from depression and is a recovering alcoholic. He's been doing pretty good, then randomly, yesterday (the 14th) he became VERY down. Talking about suicide, etc. I am so scared. We made plans to go to a date tomorrow, he seemed happy about that. (That's the day our daughter goes to daycare). I faintly remember him saying he was going out to a bar (NOT LIKE HIM at ALL...he's a homebody) down the street. I remember telling him not to go and I was worried, and he said he'd be fine. I told him to text me when he gets there, he said I'd probably just be asleep anyway. I told him to anyway. He never text me, the bar closed an hour and forty minutes ago. I thought he was going to be walking but the car is gone (we borrow his grandma's car and she has work in the morning...I don't know what to tell her).

I have text and called MANY times...no answer...I keep checking our live call page on our local news site. I saw a report of a suicide a few miles away...I'm trying to stay calm and hope he just passed out in the car outside the bar or something stupid. But it's pretty cold....I'm so scared...I don't know what to do.

So sorry you are going through this. But the best thing is to call the police. :frown:

You need to call the police and report him missing...there is no time limit to report a person missing...don't let them tell you to wait til morning to call...if you are worried that he might do something then you need to call it in so they can be on the lookout for him...trust me, that's what they're there for

I agree, call and report him missing, they can help find him, and recommend help for him (and you) to get through this. hugs

echoing the others - call the police

I really hope he is ok. Maybe try and go looking for him?
Call the bar where he went or take a ride down there and see if he is ok?

Keep calm and if he doesn't show up call his friends.
If he truly could be at risk, call the police and ask for their help or advice.

I hope he turns up ok hun xx

My heart aches for you. So many people suffer from depression and feel hopeless. My wish for you is that he returns and gets the help he needs. Please, update when you find out more.

Call your friends / family and have them be with you and look for him with you.

I have been in a similar situation, and luckily I followed my instinct. It saved a life.

Sorry to be scary but it's better to be safe, and when you do find him and sees how much trouble you have gone to to find him he will realise how silly he has been. Good luck.

I don't have anything helpful to say except that I hope he's okay. Do update. {{ hugs }}

If you both have iPhones, both instal the 'Find My Friends' app. You can use it to track down where your friends are and if this ever happens again, you'll know where he is. (Though hopefully it doesn't.)
Keep your chin up, stay positive, don't panic and as everybody else has said - call the police.

I really hope everything is okay, let us know! xo

I just talked to the police. I can't believe this is happening. I feel so sick. I let them know he's suicidal, they sounded concerned. He doesn't really hang out with anyone, a result of his crippling depression. (He's in therapy, he's been urged by his therapist and myself to get on medications, but he kept putting it off...)

And I can't go look at him with the little one asleep...if the police don't contact me in an hour I'm calling my sister in law...she's a teacher so I really hate to wake her, but I don't know what else to do...

scotslass

Aww this is awful. I know exactly how you are feeling many times my brother went missing after drink and drug binges. I hope he turns up safe and well. xxxxxxxxxxx

scotslass

Just keep calm, depression is a terrible thing and maybe he has just needed some time to clear his head, I would phone your Sister as you need someone by your side xxxx

Was there any news? Did he turn up? Hope so xxx

If he's a recovering alcoholic why was he going to the bar?


Also if he has his phone on him and had had an accident someone would of picked it up. Stay calm. He might of just drunk too much and is wondering around thinking or maybe he went back to someones place to continue drinking?

Tenoreo90

He was relapsing, unfortunately. He had been pretty good for a few weeks, like I said...then bam...like a brick.

I keep checking the traffic and crime reports, nothing so far. I'm not sure if that's good or bad.

If you don't talk to them within that time, also call them back...I'm a 911 dispatcher and if you call the police and ask to speak to an officer, they cannot refuse you...it's your right to talk to someone and you can give them the veh desc, license plate, and his desc so they can keep an eye out...I would also call the hospitals to see if he might have checked himself in or was taken to the ER for any reason
