yes...

when I was 14, I drank 1/2 bottle of peroxide. made me sick as a dog, but I didn't tell anyone. my parents thought I was faking being sick.


when I was 17, I found one of my dad's guns. I put it to my head & pulled the trigger... turns out Dad is a responsible gun owner and the gun wasn't loaded.

a few times,I'm happy to be live now,still have bad days.Glad you are alive too x

I have done the same, just for sleep, just to get out of that awful time when you can't cope with it, you just want to sleep until it is all over. I have never tried to go further than that and by what you have said, neither did you, not really. You were at the end of your tether, it happens, depression is an ugly illness, it can be so brutal in making life so difficult. What you did, you now find horrible, I hope that has shown you that it's not the answer. Don't beat yourself up over it, you live to fight another day. Depression can be controlled, you can live a good life, it's just holding on until you find the way. Today, for the first time in many years of 'the monster in my head' I woke up and colours were brighter, everything looked so beautiful, there was no dark cloud. I am not thinking about tomorrow, I am living for today. Your days will come, keep that hope and it will see you through the bad times. Try loving yourself just that little bit more and praise youself for every little bit of effort you make. You deserve it.

Oh I was having a crappy day way back in '95 and downed a whole bottle of extra strength Tylenol. I just didn't give a shit anymore. Thank goodness I made it thru.

((Emma)) I am so sorry you went through the trauma. I am sure situations like this take a piece of you. Thank God your husband was nearby.

I have contemplated it many times, but since I had kids it is no longer an option. I have fogotten to take my pills and felt positively out of control. We don't have to preach to you how important that is...right?

Are you doing better? And your husband?

Been there too. Stopped breathing once, nearly didn't come back. Am glad I did though, even though I'm low at the moment, I know I'll get through this and things will be better. You can get there too

yes, overwhelmed all at once and said the hell with it. All the meds. at once. Made it though still an irretent.

I've overdosed. Thats when they finally realise I had depression. At the moment I'm glad I didn't have the right tablets. I hope I feel this way forever.

I'm glad you are still with us. Thank you for being so honest. I've overdosed alot but it's been many many years ago. I think sometimes we get impulsive and we don't think things out, like what will happen if I down that whole bottle of pills. The main thing is, you are with us and you are safe again. I hope you will be seeing a doctor or therapist to help you walk through this. I have you in my thoughts and prayers.

I recently tried to OD several times this past summer with no success. I think I didnt have anything strong enough, or did not take enough. I made myself very very sick.

I'm sorry what you went through and hope you feel better. As for me a 1 1/2 ago I never took medication or anything for depression and I was so low I hung myself. But I was suffocating and didn't die. I still ca't belive I did that.

Yes, but it was drug/alcohol abuse over longer periods of time along with one over the counter overdose.

yep, a few times. enough times to complicate my health due to overdosing, but still considering it even now. just can't decided on the best mixture so that i don't wake up when i do it.

i never intentionally od- but have hurt myself in other ways. i'm sorry you feel so bad, but glad you're still with us. plz if you feel the need to try again, plz talk to us first..so we can try to help and support you.

Please forgive yourself and try to get back on track with your meds and your doctors. That's a really scary place to be in, thank god you didn't do any permanent damage to yourself. Do you think you can make it with DS helping along now? I certainly hope so! Life is so precious.
