Took an overdose

[Ilovemycatalot]

So I took an overdose on Friday and got let out of hospital same day. Came home on my own. I’m so depressed but have nobody my family don’t give a shit. Crisis team involved again but didn’t get much help from them last time just don’t know what to do anymore just want to stop feeling so bad.

I also took an overdose on Friday, got let out Saturday afternoon and took another one straight away. Just got home. Don't even have crisis team visiting. It's just me alone and sad and already planning the next time.

I'm so sorry to hear you are both feeling so very low.

Please talk to someone, the Samaritans maybe?

When I am feeling desperately low I try to remember that "this too will pass" and to take one day at a time x

Sending you healing thoughts x

Try talking to people on here; it’s better than nothing.

It's so very sad that neither of you have been given much or any further support.
I don't know really know what to write and I'm worried I might write the wrong thing.

I hope tomorrow doesn't look as bleak for you as today does

I’m sorry to hear your having a shit time to @Olimar it’s so hard when you have zero support.

To both of you that took ODs……Are you taking the over doses to end your life or because you need help ? Assume the later as you’ve ended up in hospital. Life can seem so desperate sometimes and when you’re lonely and have little support it can seem like it’s not worth living. Our MH teams are also over stretched and ill equipped to deal with the volume of people referred.

have you spoken to you GPs, could you afford private counselling ? Have you tried talking space ?

I realise you say you don’t have any family/support but do you work ? Have you distractions through the day ? Hobbies etc…

I work for the ambulance service but contrary to popular belief we get no MH training and have very little options open to us with regards to help.

FYI over doses rarely work for various reasons but they’ll end up destroying your organs

I feel you both, a bit of a trigger for me but i cant just skate past this 1. I just want to send my love, hugs, cuddles ♥️♥️ xxx

Much love to both of you. I’m in hospital under section but not for overdose. I have done in the past though. I have found texting SHOUT has been helpful in the past alongside The Samaritans. You can also see if Mind run any outreach services in your area, they do in mine and it is a great support. Please keep talking even if it is just on here.

I'm sorry you feel shit.

Years ago I attempted suicide. Crisis team are crap. Eventually I worked out I needed to sort out what it was in life I wanted out of. You have to fix yourself because even if services could help they take so long and are overstretched.

One tiny step at a time. Pick one thing to sort tonight and let yourself feel good you achieved it when you feel so crap. Something like taking a shower if you haven't done that today or get the washing up done. No one climbs a mountain in a day it's a step at a time.

Im so sorry you are feeling this way, both of you!
Ive felt similar at times, but so far I have never attempted, but do reach out. Things can and will get better, and it doesn’t have to be this way. I know it feels like it won’t get better but it will. I know you probably feel hopeless and full of despair but you can make a change, take that first step to get the help you need. You deserve to live a fulfilling life, you can take steps to getting the life you want.
You are wanted and needed in this world, and you can turn things around, I know you can. You’re in my thoughts.
