I Have Thought About Taking An Overdose of Tablets

My Heart Stopped!

when i was 15 i OD on anti depressants. i was rushed to the hospital and on my way there my heart stopped twice. wheni got to the hospital they had to pump my stomach. im alive and well now. but it was the scariest thing in the world for my friends and family. suicide is not the way. think of life as a card game. say you have a crappy hand and you just want to quit the game cuz u think there is no way you could ever win. sure to give up is the easy way but the real winners are the ones who can take a crappy hand and turn it into something good.

    I totally agree with this! Two years ago I overdosed on anti depressants, my heart also stopped twice. Had to be resuscitated, have stomach pumped, adrenalin in my heart, kidney dialysis and was in a coma. I can't tell you how happy I am to come out of this alive and I would never want to put my friends and family through this again. Suicide is not the answer, whatever you are going through and however bad things get things will always get better, it may take time but you do get there. I'm glad you came out the other side like I did

    i know what depresssion is, but i dont even think about it when i get depressed..i replace my bad emotions with good emotions.....Balance of Good & Normal....if you are depressed..and need some help...mail me..i can prolly think of something for you.. so you dont get depressed...give me reason why you are depressed...and lets see what i can think up from there....when i feel bad emotions..i just leave it alone.......never follow emotions...follow the new and better thought...just staring..is a better thought than any bad emotion.

    You are so right. It is possible to find good in life no matter what the circumstances. Having once been suicidal myself, I am certain of this.
