Just to let everyone know, I have just been discharged from the general hospital after taking an overdose. i received treatment to prevent liver damage so am physically fine, but mentally, i am a mess. i saw the psych team who told me there was nothing they can do except write my key worker a letter. i am seeing her and the home treatment team at 1pm tomorrow but i know nothing will happen, my key worker refuses to accept there is anything wrong and that I need help. Now I am an adult I am told it is my responsibility. My choice. My life. They just dont realise I cant hack it anymore. I dont know what to do, I cant get hold of my key worker, I no longer have the home treatment teams support and i am more desperate than ever.

I am not glad you're out of the hospital after overdosing! I think you need some time away from things to just chill-out and get your thinking turned around.

I agree with slimpics, but I know that you don't have much of a choice to get away. Your situation just breaks my heart. You are in my prayers.

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...
