So yesterday I decided to be really stupid and took a crazy amount OTC drugs which I wont mention. I feel like my life is going down to the ->-bleeped-<-ter because of my mental illnesses. So yesterday because I didn't want to feel alone and extremely bored I decided to try them. I eventually blacked out into a dream like state. It couldhave gotten me killed. When I came down from my high I imediatly regret it, I've been crying about it for a good amount of today. My mental situation is getting way too out of hand and I don't know what to do. I don't want to abuse drugs and get myself killed but I'm starting to lose control over that will finally, I'm scared...

Oh dear, I would recommend that you get rid of every drug you have left and start exercising a lot more, my sister suffers from borderline disorder, she has tried to kill herself numerous times in the past but she is making progress finally. It always gets really bad before it gets better. I'm telling you because of her and my experience, exercise is such a life saver when it comes to anxiety and depression, you always feel like you've accomplished something really big after a good workout, and you have! also I would recommend that you keep a journal where you write how you feel everyday and read it whenever you feel good, it might give you a different perspective towards it. And last but not least, remember to rely on the people you love, it might seem like you're alone, but the thing is after a long period of feeling lonely and depressed you get used to playing the victim, even when there's people that want to help you and love you no matter what. Open yourself to those people, you'll see what a difference it makes and whenever you feel like you're about to have a crisis tell someone immediately, if you're alone go out for a walk and take deep breaths, listen to music that fills your head with positive thoughts.

I hope everything goes well for you. :)

Get to your therapist ASAP.

Or get yourself to the local hospital and ask for help.

Depression and darkness is all so real in our lives and tends for us to do stupid things out of relief.

SO again get yourself some face to face help now. Please.

I'm sorry to hear that :( I think it's good that you regret it though.  Do you think you are addicted to any of the stuff that made you high? Or is it just at that phase where you use it to feel better emotionally?  If you're not addicted yet, get away from it as soon as possible, throw it away or flush it down the toilet so that you won't have something to regret again later.

I felt the same as you describe you did, but I cut myself. I also regretted it afterwards and I promised myself to never ever to it again.  Things got better for me, and I'm sure they can get better for you too  :icon_hug: *huuuug*

I don't have anything left because I consumed it all, it was an insane amount is all I'll say. I'm getting down the road of not caring about myself at all and eventually I probably won't care if I live another day. Problem is I'd go to the hospital if it didn't make me feel trapped and isolated, it usually makes me feel worse... I used to workout like a fiend but the deteriorated very fast last year unfortunately. I was just starting to get back in the habit but derailed myself this past week. Its a problem that I don't feel like I have friends and I feel alone and hate myself, I'm terrified...

I was and it completely failed and never addressed any of my problems. I'm becoming vonvinced that the mental health industry on LI is pretty ineffectual.....

I'm so sorry to hear that you felt in so much pain that that you did that to yourself. Nobody should ever be in such distress that doing these things seems the easiest thing to do. I don't want you to feel ashamed that you did it; but I'd really hope you can find the strength to call someone, or ask them if they could go to a nearby ER.

It's really important that someone can make sure that your body is as healthy as it can be; they'll not judge you. They're there to help you. It'll be safe environment for you to talk about problems. If you don't feel able to go to ER, I could suggest some other safe resources to look at; but I really do urge you to go to ER if you can.

Please don't be afraid to speak to any of us about your feelings. We're all here to help each other.

As i said we all have these moments but they can be moved past.

For me i used my therapist all the time when i felt this way.

I also had good friends i could see and talk about things.

You can get past this. You can.

Exercising increases endorphins. So, it makes sense.

I need a safe space and I may need to find housing to help me and have others around. I refuse to go to the ER and the mental ward. It hurts every time I go unfortunately. I just don't feel like I have many people to be with physically. I also don't have a safe space at all and I feel trapped and isolated... Drugs are seaming more and more the better option than sobriety....

Then go to the local AAA or sobriety center in your area and try and get some help.

Being alone is hard and brings lots of fears and so much time to think.

I am guessing you do not have a therapist?

I can't do any 12 step programs because of the religious aspects, I don't believe in god nor any higher power. It would be worthless. and I need prevention actually.

Riley, get help. OTC drugs ODing may not kill you it will definatley take a toll on your health. If you are taking that many and not caring what happens seek help, call a suicide hotline or so on. But definately find help. Find a therapist to help you work through things.

Now is the time to get help.

Really Hon, you don't have to believe in god or any higher power but you do have to believe in yourself. You don't even need to go into a twelve step program just one step and that is seeking help. We don't want to lose anymore friends tha we love and consider family than we already have.

I just recognize that I need help and am powerless to stop myself. In all honesty there are only three drugs I'll allow myself to take as they've helped me stay alive

Remember helplines are always open.

We are always here to help when you feel blah, but professional help should be sought out when there is a possible of self harm.

We truly care for everyone here and most of us have been there and do not want things to happen.
