Re: overdose

lilslugger, have you contacted your therapist or psychiatrist to inform them about this action and how you're feeling? When you say you overdosed, did it necessitate a trip to the ER, and if so, what precautions were offered as far as making sure you are safe?

Re: overdose

I hope you talk with your doctor as the meds you took could be causing damage to your liver. Best to go in and tell doctor so blood work can be done. I hope you are feeling better today please call your doctor okay

Re: overdose

lilslugger, I'm concerned about you right now. If I understand your post today, you really need medical attention (if you haven't already done so). Please go and get yourself checked out.

Please go and see your G.P. just too get yourself checked out:hug:

 

[ladylore]

I agree with everyone else. Please go see your doctor and keep the number of the crisis lines close to you. Call them when your having these thoughts again and before you act on them.

i went to the hospital, im ok.

 

[Jazzey]

Having done it myself not too long ago lilslugger, I know that you're not ok right now. But you will be soon. It takes a little more time. But you will be ok.

I'm happy to hear that you went to the hospital lilslugger. And please lean on us for support - I know that you're probably struggling with a lot of thoughts right now.

But have you done any of these?

 

[lilslugger]

yes i had to go to a&e but it wasn't too serious, my bloods came back ok. the hospital sayed they would contact my cpn and let me go home even though i needed help. my cpn (community psych doctor) comes and sees me every 6 weeks and i have no way to contact him if i feel unwell, health service here (N Ireland) is crap.

Yeah, it sounds like it. I can't comprehend how irresponsible it is to send someone home without immediate followup after an attempted suicide.

 

[lilslugger]

it wasnt an attempt to kill myself it was just self harm.

I see. My misunderstanding comes from your original post, bolding mine:

i took an overdose last night, im all right now. i was just so scared of losing control and thinking or saying something blasphemous. this fear is single handily ruining my life, i feel there is no hope and no cure for me. im left too suffer this terrible pain. i just wish i hadnt ocd.

When I read that someone feels that hope is lost and there is no cure, they are usually also stating they're suicidal, particularly when an overdose is mentioned. I apologize for misunderstanding.
