I attempted suicide

Post Reply New Topic

I tried to kill myself. I took all the pills I could find: a half a bottle of Advil and a half a bottle of St. Joseph's aspirin. I felt nauseous afterward, but didn't throw up. Nothing else happened. I wish I did die because I'm so depressed and my life doesn't seem to be getting much better.

When I was sixteen, I attempted suicide on three different occasions. Two times with pills (only once did I throw up) and one time caught with car exhaust.

I could never be happier that those attempts didn't work those many, many years ago.

PM me if you need anything. I can promise you that things will get better with patience and hope. Don't do that again, dude.

Oh, please don't ever do that again!

I'm going to send you a PM. I'm glad that the attempt was not successful! ((hugs))

How long ago did you take these pills? Aspirin can cause internal bleeding so perhas you should see a doctor if not already.

That's prob not enough to kill you, but you need to see a doctor if you haven't already.

Those medicines can do internal damage that while not enough to kill, will make you miserable for a long time.

I once took 47 sleeping pills and washed it down with beer. I'm glad I'm not super suicidal these days because I live across the street from the train tracks.

Hang in there, ninendogurl. Death comes to us all anyway, so you may as well keep yourself alive.

Get to a hospital! They HAVE TO admit you if you attempted suicide. You need professional help at this point to sort the issues you have and keep you from making a terrible mistake.

Yes, the active ingredient in Advil can do a lot of damage to your liver if you take to much.

I can relate to you but I never attempted suicide but have had thoughts about me with a gun pointing at my heart and shooting, I kind of wished it was real because I always felt rejected. But please don't attempt it. Go to the doctor because you could have done some internal damage and I hope you're doing okay.

Keep talking with people. Reaching out is good. You don't want to kill yourself. That is foolish and would be a terrible error. Do not make that mistake... We are all here at this time on this planet for a very important reason. You should live. Life is a gift and it is precious, even if you do not see it now. You still have more to experience in your present lifetime... If you killed yourself you would deny yourself the further accumulation of wisdom and the ability to partake in great changes. You should know and know well that many of us here have not had the easiest time in life... You should also well know that many of us have experienced levels of hell that are almost beyond imagination. Guess what? I'm still here... so are many others... Everyone has major problems and their problems can often mean the world to them, depending on who they are and where they are at in mind. I do not doubt your intense pain and suffering and we believe you. Call to nature. Go out into nature, even if it is very brief. This Earth is nurturing. You will find hidden information about you that you may not have known, or that you have forgotten. Use this information and live. You have a choice and its a simple one. Live through this pain you believe to be so powerful and become stronger than you ever thought possible... You are capable, but no one can make you understand this. Strength through pain. Keep going no matter what.

thats how taking pills works as a suicide method. Sadly liver failure is something you dont die of instantly and that its also something that takes a bit of time to get to work. Not a good way to die imho, much too painful and slow

Firstly I'm very sorry you feel so depressed. I suffer from severe depression myself so I know what it is like.

Regarding the suicide attempt I strongly advise going to a hospital. Overdosing on pills can cause permanent organ damage and cause complications that will probably make your life even worse and make you even more depressed. For the sake of your health you should get checked to make sure you're alright.

Physical and Mental pain tend to go in cycles. Pain rises for a time and then recedes.

You can weather a hard time, knowing some relief is eventually coming. But that can take some practical experience to master.

That once in a while, when the pain can feel like too much, is where medicine may help. I would suggest seeing a doctor about this and finding the right sort of medication you can take when it feels overwhelming, or maybe even to prevent getting to that point.

Doctors know medications aren't perfect, but they use them because they prove to be better then the alternative which can happen if you do nothing. Which in your case could have been death.

Many have been in a similiar dark place, myself included. I think you will find nearly all are glad it didn't happen. What you can't see in the Fog of Pain, is that many possibilities and good things await. Use all you can at these times to weather them. Do things you like, tap into family, friends or folks in similiar situations (like here) and professional Medical help.

I hope you took all of this in and got yourself to the hospital somehow. I'm thinking of you.

There are ways to do pills that are not slow and painful, but I'm obviously not going to post them.
