I Took An Overdose

In October last year I developed Schizophrenia and the voices were driving me nuts. I wasn't on meds for them then like I am now. I have depression and anxiety too so that plus the voices and you can see why my head felt messed up. I...

On Friday 12th October, the police came round to my house to tell me that my dad had completely gotten away with the child abuse. The judge at the high court in London fell for his tricks that he was ill and squashed all his convictions...

Last week I got really drunk, drank loads of Sambuca, Apple Sourz and WKD. I was with a couple of friends Ben and Laura and we really did have a good time, it was such a laugh. Problem is, I planned on committing suicide that night...

I believe I mentioned overdosing in another story for another group...but here is the story:

My story is going to be as eloquent as TruFlow, but mainly I just wanted to say I'm really glad there's this community.  I've ODed something like 4 times.  I'm so bad that my mother has to keep all the pills in the house, even...

This happened two and a half months ago.I have been struggling with bipolar disorder for years, but by 2008 or so I had put much of the suffering in my past. I had learned to ride out the mood swings and was on a good regiment of...
