First have a conversation about it tho and warn her. Having an RA suddenly come talk to you about mental health concerns can feel like an ambush and being in that mind space can make someone really defensive. I had someone report me for self-harm without talking to me about it first and it felt like the biggest betrayal at the time and made everything feel so much more stressful. Have a conversation, say you’re very concerned and will be telling the RA or something, just let her know.

Yeah - unfortunately I’ve been around a lot of folks who make jokes like that and are completely okay…but if their friends are asking OP to watch her to make sure she doesn’t, then it’s a different can of beans. 😥

her friends went to the cops but if i end up getting involved i’m going to the ra first since her friends aren’t in our dorm.

her friends had a conversation with her about their concerns and ended up calling the cops, i tried talking to her but we’re not super close so she just brushed me off + said it’s not my business

Ok, just let her know that you’re reporting her and why so it’s not a complete surprise and she has time to mentally prepare for when authority figures come to her about it
