I would post this in the crisis centre, but I'm not sure how soon I would get an answer there.
I think I've overdosed on tylenol. I don't know if I took enough to do serious harm. I'm not really sure what I'm going to do about it.
I know I should probably go to the hospital or something, but the thing is I really do want to die at this point.
Not exactly sure why I'm even posting this. Ugh . . .

Get yourself to ER immediately. You may die, you may wish you did.

You'll feel better for it if you go. Why is it your hesitating?

Went to the hospital. Just got home. Life sucks.

Death, long term coma, kidney damage, cardiac problems, BREATHING problems, paralysis, brain damage, liver damage, pancreatic damage, stomach damage ... you think life sucks? It's a cake walk compared to the risks you take.

Stop TRYING to make your life miserable ... and TRY to love something .... the freekin sunshine, a flower, a puppy, ... SOMETHING. No love ... no happiness.

Pull yourself UP ... you can have a decent life.

April,
I considered this as a means to an end until I considered the consequences of not suceeding & it's not worth the effort..the success rate does not work to your advantage..
I hope this message finds you in your recovery stages and you will learn that your energy is best used towards finding something positive to anchor yourself to..best wishes for a better, more productive life for you and everyone..
