I was doing fine,actually I felt really normal,not low and not high.Then I started a new job and whack in the face!(And nearly out of no where) I'm suddenly sliding into that huge black hole and out right attempt suicide by over doseing while being on a sleeping tablet which made my judgement very poor.I don't know how many tablets I took.This awful feeling of suicide just comes upon me so suddenly that when I'm in my right frame of mind I'm scared to think what I could do to myself.Is any one else scared of themselves? What the hell is wrong with me?!!!By the way I was a little hypomanic the night before...so I think I crashed big time.Does anyone know what to do to prevent attempts when you crash?

I don't have the answer to that one myself yet, but have a big hug x

Hope you feel better soon.

I have to question Paxil since it only made things worse for me. Plus you being 22 makes me question you taking it even more.

I'm off paxil now and am on celexa,however I ODd on paxil..and they say it isn't addictive.For me it's like being on cocaine.

deleted_user 12/03/2007

I don't know what you mean by OD'ing on Paxil, but they lie about it being addictive. The body will go through withdrawl if givin up cold turkey. Depends on the daily amount taken ofcourse.

I overdosed on paxil and several other drugs.

deleted_user 12/03/2007

Tell me more, what do you mean by OD'd? Tell the amount.

deleted_user 12/03/2007

I know how you feel. Just went thru 2 hosp. myself, the last one after od'ing on my xanax for about 3 wks. I don't trust myself but learned to depend on others including the crisis when I can't talk to anyone else. For me, talking seems to help.

I'm not sure how much I took,I was very drugged up by the sleeping tablet I took before.It's all hazzy in my mind.

deleted_user 12/03/2007

Hmmm, if you don't know what you're taking, you probably shouldn't be taking at all. Sleeping pills, what kind? I take Somonex sometimes which is OTC.

I am PETRIFIED of myself at the moment and have been begging to be in hospital. ive been in every day. yesterday there was an incident. i think theyre starting to understand.
i dont know how to stop it. i dont know what im doing half the time at the moment. im impulsive and not inside my body.

i wish i knew the answer.

i find being on ds as much as possible when low helps. it normally sorts my head out a bit.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
