Right or Wrong?

I have made friends on different forums such as this one. About 6 months ago I made 2 friends that were just awesome. Me and the one were pretty close and trusted each other a lot. But a few months ago she became depressed and stopped trusting me so much. Which I didnt like but I figure she only knows me from over the internet so I can understand. So we continued to be friends and I did what I could to help her and she seemed to be getting better. But then on new years eve she wanted to kill herself. I stayd on the computer talking to her and trying to convince her not to for 5 hours. After finally being successful she was just as bad the next day. And now she ran away yesterday. I know that running away would be horrible for her to do and would be extremely dangerous. But I assumed if shed told me she would have told her real life friends. So I sat there thinking that they would make sure her family knew so they could get her or get the police to find her. After a few hours I found that none of her friends did know and that she had engeniered it so nobody would find out for a few days. So I told her best friend since I cant contact her family and dont even know what part of the state she lives in. She found out and says she hates me and will never talk to me again (which to be honest I did expect this but I would rather her be safe and hate me than alone out on the cold streets). So my questions is: Is what I did right or wrong?

You did what you thought was the right thing in the best interests of someone you care about. Thats all anyone can do.

One day maybe she'll thank you for it, but she's not in a good place now so don't hold your breath.

Of course you did the right thing. You wanted to keep her safe, it was the best for her. Like the poster above said, she's not in a good situation right now, so give her some time, she'll eventually appreciate it.

I think you did the right thing. You went with your gut feeling, and you cared about her. If nobody would have done anything, then she could have gotten kidnapped or seriously hurt, and you'd feel terrible. She may be mad about it now, but she will thank you in the future. Just give her some time. If she felt the need to take her life, she must be going thro something 'tuff. She's just confused, but like i said. She'll thank you in the future.

Thanks very much you guys. :) She did thank me for being a friend but then also tried to use it against me when she got mad at me. I assume shes just struggling with not really wanting to have been in the wrong? But things have gotten more complicated with a few things that just happend but I dont feel comfortable talking about all her private matters on here. Like I said though thank you and hopefully she will eventually get completely past it. Although I didnt expect her to thank me that fast either.
