I hope you've found some help Joffrey. Really sorry to see this. Please come back if you're struggling.

Are you okay

Djelibeyb · 24/11/2015 00:20

Hope you are safe. Get to medical help if you need it and a friend if you can. Reach out irl and know we all have your virtual back as well. X

OddSocksHighHeels · 24/11/2015 00:30

Oh, so much going wrong recently Sad

Are you ok? Do you have RL help?

KingJoffreyLikesJaffaCakes · 24/11/2015 00:48

I'm home. In bed. Bit cold - didn't really dress for the rain.

Man on 111 seems to think that I'll be okay. There's a body weight/overdose chart they do to determine if you're in danger. I've scraped through.

Thanks for the support. I kind of snapped, no idea what happened. Really no idea. Was all a total blur, don't really remember posting.

I've got concussion from the self-harm. Am a bit scared of going to sleep in case I don't wake up.

But I'm mostly fine. Just really cold.

Appreciate the support. MN is soooo much better than real life.

Phew. Hot tea. Sleep.

OddSocksHighHeels · 24/11/2015 00:50

Can you see A&E just in case?

I went to them a week after an overdose, all was ok, but they were really lovely and helpful. It could put your mind at rest?

PurpleDaisies · 24/11/2015 00:51

Is there anyone you can call to come and be with you joff? Or would you be able to get your concussion checked out at a and e?
It sounds like a hot water bottle would do you the world of good!

Really glad you're still with us Flowers

MistressMerryWeather · 24/11/2015 00:54

I am so delighted you are posting and somewhere safe.

I don't want to be a worry wort and bother you but by concussion do you mean you fell and hit your head? Don't sleep just yet.

Because if you did then that really shouldn't be ignored.

How exactly do you feel psychically?

KingJoffreyLikesJaffaCakes · 24/11/2015 00:54

Nearest A&E is 10+ miles away.

And I don't want to climb out from under my duvet. It's really nice - retro with little houses on it.

I feel like a bit of a prick, actually. I thought I was past all of this.

Joff I hope you are OK. Warm socks, hot tea & a hot water bottle if you can.

SpellBookandCandle · 24/11/2015 00:56

I'm thinking about you. I hope you are safe and warm now. Xx

OddSocksHighHeels · 24/11/2015 00:58

If you can't get there then that's ok. Just be safe. Do you have somebody to call if you start to feel worse?

Hot drinks (abolutely no alcohol!), warm bed and anything that makes you feel happy (music, TV, films, book, whatever it is for you).

PurpleDaisies · 24/11/2015 00:58

I have massive duvet envy now!

Please try not to be too hard on yourself-no recovery is without bumps and setbacks. Have you got a good GP or other health professional to help you get back on track?

MistressMerryWeather · 24/11/2015 00:59

Bugger that, you are the opposite of a prick. You came back an are talking to us.

Which is great because we care about you.

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 24/11/2015 01:03

Thank Goodness you're home. Rest well sweetheart . We're here to talk when ever you need us.
Please do not ever refer to your self as prick again. YOu're a very strong amazing person who needed help. No shame what so ever in that. !!
We're all just relieved that you're home safe.
Your duvet cover sounds gorgeous BTW x

MistressMerryWeather · 24/11/2015 01:06

And by the way, it doesn't matter how far away you are from A & E, if you feel like you are not right tonight call an ambulance.

It may seem horribly dramatic but if you have taken a lot of pills AND seriously bumped your head then it is completely justified.

You wont be treated any differently because this is to do with MH. Trust me.

KingJoffreyLikesJaffaCakes · 24/11/2015 01:08

I've relocated. Took your advice.

Have tea, hot water bottle, fuzzy slipper boots and a dressing gown my mum chose for me - pink with hearts, so not my style.

Going to stay up. Have numerous box sets to binge-watch.

Thanks for cheering me up.

I don't need an ambulance, honestly.

If I start vomiting or seeing double I'll call one but I think I'm okay.

I took about 14 Propanolol and some Co-codamol. Head was pounding and my anxiety was through the roof and I wanted it all to stop. Which it has, but it's not something I'll be recommending.

OddSocksHighHeels · 24/11/2015 01:11

Keep talking sweetie. We're here to listen if you need to offload.

OddSocksHighHeels · 24/11/2015 01:13

X-post, you should be ok with what you took but promise to monitor yourself?

KingJoffreyLikesJaffaCakes · 24/11/2015 01:14

Nah, I'd be happier just talking gibberish.

Might go into Classics and laugh my arse off.

OP posts:
OddSocksHighHeels · 24/11/2015 01:15

I get it. I can start a gibberish thread if you like Smile

KingJoffreyLikesJaffaCakes · 24/11/2015 01:15

Do you think it'll be okay to eat?

Not eaten since lunch and I really want some cake mix.
