Took an overdose and now I'm on anti depressants since then I've been self harming and I can't seem to stop and now the past two days I've taken 19 paracetomal tablets and I want to take more I just don't no what to do or who to turn to now I'm ment to be seeing the doctor on Thursday but I just feel so tired and fed up
Hello,
Have you got a family ? Back in 2006 my brother killed himself walk in front of a truck he Od twice like you he used to cut himself all this came out when the police told my mother and myself I never knew he was even ill it broke my family up I no longer speak to my other brother who said to my mother 'what's it got to do with you what your son does its his life'
I still find it hard to understand the last words my mother said was 'do you want to talk to me' he just said no ' then he was gone
I suffer from depression have since childhood also my mother does its in the family its a awful illness.
I think about him every single day I miss him so much not only was he my brother he was always there for me if I could changes things I would ? But I can't he's gone left a wife and 2 children.
I got marriage but found it hard to settle down bought a house its all gone my moods swings up and down its a hangs over me all the time people that say 'time heals the pain' is taking rubbish its Christmas soon time of the year when my family should be together but that's gone forever too.
I feel nothing inside anymore I'm a shell of a person.
If you need help ask for it but if your hell bent on killing yourself no one will save you.
It may ease your pain but others will have it forever
Take care
Hi....I have not harmed myself but lile you (I think) have just started on anti depressants amd they haven kicked in yet. Feel so low amd tired and my brain is foggy. Apparently it gets worse before better. We just need to ride this out and hang ontothe fact there will be light at the end of the tunnel. Do you have family amd friends you can talk to? I have noticed nobody asks how I am as its a tabboo subject but if you open up and talk then people are willing to talk to you. They just dont want to be the first person to bring it up and it then comes across like they don't care.
Stay strong buddy xx
Please please do not take more than eight a day.
You may feel fine but its going to do damage to your liver and other organs.
Paracetamol is a killer in larger doses ie more than eight,a day, that is the maximum you can take.
You may collapse and you could also have liver failure.
Question is " Do you honestly want to die?
Why?
Is it depression - meds,will help that.
Do you get,a relief when self harming?
Why did you o/d?
Is there,a situation going on that you can't cope with?
You have made a big step by posting on here, the forum will help you and give you support.
Let us help you, please
With love, Linda xx
Hi I read your post with alarm! Please don't take any more tablets as it is very hard to kill yourself on paracetamol but you can cause irreversible liver damage. That would only add to your problems.
You are in crisis. Can you go immediately to a hospital or your doctor? You must go now before you do yourself serious harm. x
I would say you need to see your doctor before. I would not wait, are you not feeling sick when you take so much medicine? I don't know what your going through as I have never tried to self harm or anything but just think if you do manage to do enough damage to yourself to kill yourself what do you gain?
There is no way back, once your gone your gone. I am pretty sure you should seek help asap. This is not right and not safe for you to be treating yourself this way you need help from people around you and doctors etc thats what they do they are paid to help you and are glad to help! Please get some help. Even if your not feeling the effects now you body will not be loving this treatment in the long run. I really hope you do decide to go get some help as no one can make you.
I really hope you get out of this rut and stop feeling like this, even if it bad at the moment there is always light at the end of the tunnel just keep battling through I wish I could even come see you or something lol! Try and keep yourself busy! I hope you feel better soon!
Suicide is such a taboo subject and the reasons behind It are so complex.
I have Come close to taking my own Life believing there Was a nice gentle way of ending my Life.
The impact to my immediate family would be minimal and my mental torment would be over.
After alot of research and alot of Soul searching I decided against It.
The Facts are These if you really want to take your Life the most efficent ways are both painful, gory, and have a domino effect to the people Who find you to your immediate family.
I understand only too Well the desire to end your Life and the reasons behind It.
You and your family have been through a terrible terrible time.
What I wanted to Add was I really understand you and what your saying .
You are not alone and there are people Who are around to Support you if you want It
Your In my thoughts today

Hi Dreamhigh, if your considering a further overdose or self harm then you are in "crisis", so suggest you contact your GP surgery and get an emergency call from back from them, they will decide what's the best course of action including em mediate referral from mental health team.
They will look after you as its the help you need.
