Took an overdose tonight

[Evieanne]

I don’t know what to do. I’m at a&e right now. I hate myself, all I ever seem to do is lie whenever I want to do something I want. I’m fed up. I’m supposed to be at work tomorrow night

So sorry to hear this… do you want to talk more about how you are feeling? Xx

Work? Sounds like you need time off and a chance to heal. Go easy on yourself, whatever you've lied about can be undone, whatever feels terrible right now will feel easier, later.

Give yourself time, I hope you're okay.

Well done for getting to A&E. Hopefully they can find you some help going forward. I will hold you in my thoughts and I wish you some better times ahead x

Your in the right place at A&E

Sending hugs and support.

Sorry to hear this and glad you’re in A&E. I would definitely be asking for some professional support going forwards. Do you have and family or friends who can be with you now?

You are at the right place to get help, physically at least.

I hope they can help you emotionally too.

You will be able to self certify for work for 7 days for sickness then the GP can sign you off for longer if you need it.

All the best OP, please don't be hard on your self x

You are in the right place. Be honest with how you feel. Hopefully they will refer you to the crisis team. Tell work you will be off for a little while and will provide a fit note. Big hugs

I'm sorry to hear your feeling this way. Sending virtual hugs. Well done for going to A&E

There is obviously something that you still want to be alive for , write that thing down whatever it is ( pet, family member, friend, hobby, hope for the future absolutely anything you have a connection to) and keep it somewhere visible and do something that brings peace, read a book, listen to music, eat good food - don't beat yourself up you deserve love and kindness. With the right support things can change and get better and I hope you find that support and some healing! 💖

Hello OP, we are really sorry to hear you are feeling this way.

We hope you don't mind, but when these threads are flagged up to us we usually add a link to our Mental Health resources. You can also go to the Samaritans website or email them on [email protected] if you feel in need of some support once you've been seen in A&E or at a later date.

We also like to remind everyone that, although we're awed daily by the astonishing support our members give each other through life's trickier twists and turns, we'd always caution anyone never to give more of themselves to another poster, emotionally or financially, than they can afford to spare.

We are going to move this thread to the Mental Health section shortly.

All I know is I just feel weak rn. When I came here my lower tummy just hurt a bit each time the car was passing corners

@Evieanne
I'm so sorry you're going through this. You're in the right place. Focus on yourself hun and get well xx

You have done so well to get to A and E.

If you were my friend in real life I'd be proud of you for this.
Please focus on getting better.

There's plenty of us here to listen if you want to chat.

You can share your innermost thoughts, have a rant or simply chat about trivial nonsense if that's what you need.

I'm so sorry you are going through this. I hope you find the help you need. I am keeping you in my thoughts xoxox

My heart feels like it’s racing, I just wish I did something proper because I’m so fed up of everything. I need help but I don’t have it and I’m alone here, my friend knows but nobody else

I’m sorry to hear you’re going through this. It does sound tough but please keep talking if that helps. We are here for you.

Hugs OP. You matter. You are wonderful xxxx

You've hit rock bottom, things can only go up from here.

Self refer to talk therapy, get to the gp first thing and get help. They will support you. Sounds like a bit of anxiety, this Will pass, there is nothing you can't overcome, no matter how bad.

Virtual hand hold for you OP.
There are a lot of us on here who will make sure you aren't alone just by reading your posts and replying.
I wish you much healing

I'm so sorry you felt so bad that you took an overdose.

I'm glad you're in A&E and talking about it here. Im hoping you stay safe and alive.

Start talking to people you love

I’m so sorry you’re feeling this way. I’m very much struggling with my mental health too right now and know how it feels to just want to give up. Just know that you don’t know what tomorrow holds - it could be so much better.

My head feels weird like a squeezing burning pain. I’m in a cubicle now. Had my ecg done had my obs done twice I don’t know if I can deal with this

Are the healthcare staff chatting with you? I know it's difficult because they're likely run off their feet, but maybe try to engage them in conversation if you can?

Is there anyone at home right now? Do you live with anyone who needs to know where you are? Anyone who could pop down to bring you some drinks and a smile?

I can’t do this. My stomach feels so sore and I have thrown up the 7th time today, I had some ondanestron at 1 ish. I’m terrified I’m gonna throw up again and I can’t stop crying
