Taking too much piriton

This seems like a fucking ridiculous thing to post about but apparently my life is pretty fucking ridiculous these days. I’ve been taking piriton syrup (the stuff meant for kids) at night to help me sleep as it causes drowsiness but I keep taking more of it and I have no idea if it’s a problem. I have anorexia and I’ve started taking more of it to try and force myself to sleep without having to eat anymore. I can’t bear to admit
This to anyone IRL. I’m pretty sure it’s not working anyway but I don’t seem to care how much of it I take anymore, I just figure it’s harmless. Maybe I need a reality check? But please be kind, I’m not in a good place.

Hi OP

We're so sorry to barge in, but we wanted to drop you a link to our mental health webguide.

It contains a link to Beat, an eating disorder charity that offers support, information and guidance. We would urge you to take a look.

Mumsnet is great for support and advice, but we would always advise seeking real-life help from professionals. Flowers
