I want to die or cut myself. I am not going to but I hurt so bad from depression. I have been trying to figure out if I should drink or take a pain pill. If I go to the doctor will they give me something to calm me down?
I haven't slept in 2 days.

Some pills work right away, others take time to build up to levels that will be helpful.

But in all cases, they will not work until you go to the doctor, get it sorted out, and get the meds prescribed!

The not sleeping in 2 days is abig issue, perhaps that is a good one to start on first.

Gentle hugs
