You need to get checked out, ring an ambulance or get someone to drive you to the nearest A&E. Do you have anyone supportive nearby?

PinkiePoo · 12/10/2005 15:32

no i don't want to tell it looks like attention seeking...i felt like i lost my mind but now regret what i have done

OP posts:
Lizzylou · 12/10/2005 15:33

It's not attention seeking, you are in need of support at the moment and you do need medical help..just to get checked over...please try and get yourself seen by a doctor.

Lonelymum · 12/10/2005 15:33

Oh pinkiepoo, it sounds like you need some help. Can you get to A&E to be checked out? If not, go to your GP and get seen now!

wannabump2006 · 12/10/2005 15:34

you definatly need to seek some urgent medical attention!!!!
1:because of the amount of tablets you've taken!!
2:because you need professional help to get you through this really tough time!!!!
I totally agree with gravity!!!....get to an a and e department as soon as possible!!!!
Is anyone there with you?you shouldn't really be alone right now either!!!???.x

PinkiePoo · 12/10/2005 15:34

were you offered counselling? did you go?

i know all that is long term but in the short term you should go to a and e

they will understand

Lonelymum · 12/10/2005 15:36

Sorry to sound harsh, but who are you to judge if it is an overdose? It sounds like one to me. Anyway, you need help to address your sadness. please go to your GP's surgery at least.

PinkiePoo · 12/10/2005 15:37

i think i will be ok just cant stop the tears feel like noone understands

OP posts:
Lonelymum · 12/10/2005 15:37

Have you a partner?

PinkiePoo · 12/10/2005 15:38

yes but we had an arguement today plus he will go mad if he knows what i have done

OP posts:
nailpolish · 12/10/2005 15:40

he doesnt have to find out

go to a and e

gravity · 12/10/2005 15:40

pinkiepoo!!!!!!! i hope you dont answer this because you are on the way to hospital!!!

but if you are reading this ......we all make mistakes. but fix this one first.
move your arse to the hospital. regardless of if you feel ok or not.

who knows how long that amount of pills will take before there is any effect.

Lizzylou · 12/10/2005 15:41

Pinkiepoo, of course you feel sad and down, it's totally understandable, but you do definitely need medical attention as you don't want long term health issues from taking too many tablets, go to A&E and get checked out for your own peace of mind, then I think you need to sort out some counselling.
A lot of people will understand more than you know on MN, you are not alone in this xxx

PinkiePoo · 12/10/2005 15:41

he is coming round soon so cant really go. He does not tolerate things like that, thinks its for attention

OP posts:
gravity · 12/10/2005 15:43

screw him! sorry! but your health is a little more important than what he does and doesn't tolerate. go go go to hospital!!!!!!!

PinkiePoo · 12/10/2005 15:44

your right maybe i should go

OP posts:
gravity · 12/10/2005 15:45

i'm no doctor, but 12 tablets of any description seems a little more serious than just someone trying to get attention.

nailpolish · 12/10/2005 15:45

just go! please

and you need to get long term help too, ask at the hospital

wannabump2006 · 12/10/2005 15:46

I had two terminations at different stages of my late teens,in both cases it was the only way(VERY long stories),but it still didn't make it any easier and i really punished myself,especially recently as i have experienced a stillbirth AND miscarriage all in the space of 5 months!!I can help but think i would have had two children right now.......whatever your reasons for termination,its a very personal decision,but your feelings right now are totally naturaland i can understand you hurt and feeling like you can't go on....but thats when you need to seek some help,please go and speak to someone,you need that support,professionally!
please!?.x.x

pinki poo - if someone else had posted on here saying that they had gone through a termination and was struggling to come to terms with it. That they had taken an overdose of pills - what would you be telling them to do right now??
Answer it honestly and try to find the strength to follow your own advice. You know that something must be done, don?t you? If you don?t feel up to facing the GP right now, fair enough. However, I strongly recommend you at least phone NHS direct and check out your overdose of anti biotics for possible complications/side affects. They might even reassure you that you will be fine, to take it easy tonight and make that call to some-one tomorrow when you feel more up to talking in person. Whatever you do - please please do NOT do nothing at all. Those pills may be causing damage right now - I take it you are not a doctor or pharmacist so don?t presume you will be ok.
If you are worried about your partner?s reaction now - what will it be like if he finds out later that you did nothing about it??
Not trying to be harsh - just think you need to deal with the overdose thing right now and then look to dealing with your grief afterwards. I imagine that all your emotional energy is going into thinking about the termination but maybe you should focus on your own health now and your emotional wellbeing tomorrow?

kuoni · 12/10/2005 15:48

Just read that back - sounded really harsh - just worried about you taking an overdose, that?s all.
Really feeling for you - you sound so low xx
