Fuck. I've always wondered if I'm the only one who this happens to. Apparently I'm not (and I feel for you in this situation like you have no idea...) This is a legitimate, known form of anxiety, btw and has nothing to do with online or offline, but with excessive worry about people close to you, no matter where they are.

Ok. the best advice I can give you is to create some space. This isn't a bad kind of space, it's the healthy kind. The one where you regain time and energy for yourself and your own life.

I'd say if you're really close, you should tell her about this and then that you talk about how it's ok if one of you doesn't come online and how that doesn't mean that something horrible has happened. Yes, even you don't have to be online to talk to your friend literally ALL the time.

Maybe, for the first little bit, you could ask your friend to maybe at least try to drop you a line if they're not gonna be online? (I know this sounds selfish but I think if it would help you, it's ok to be a bit selfish in this situation. Especially since it sounds like you're putting a lot of your own energy into this friendship as well.) And maybe if you guys can, determine another person who can let you know if something REALLY happens to your friend (of course we're hoping this won't happen, but it's a relieving certainty to have.)

I was kind of forced into this "space" thing and while it was bad at first, it actually really helped me get used to my friend not being online all the time.
