How????? did i not die

Be careful bro, escape to lego wii batman or something next time....

Oh man, you need to be careful.

What effects did you get on this dose?

Extreme delusions & hallucinations that seemed all to real

jessuss!

Mouthwash taken internally will not do a body good... (just stating the obvious.) But really, you need to be careful.

yeah that's crazy bro, please take it easy. Seriously though lego batman is the bomb though

ikgbixcal,

I did something very similar when I was 17 and my parents just divorced. My mother was always cruel to me, and after one of her lovely remarks - I decided to take a bottle of 60 sleeping pills. (At first I considered killing HER, but then I thought about how everyone would then feel sorry for HER, when SHE was the Abuser in the family . . . so I decided to kill myself -- "then she'd be sorry" I thought for a few moments)

I realized after a few minutes that I really was going to die because I know she could give 2 ****s if I was in my room . . . and DEAD I'd be. So I drove myself to the E.R. and after a few minutes in their care, I lost consciousness. I don't know if I was there for longer than 1 day, but I really could have died. What happened next? I was discharged to my mother who - when we got home - told me she wanted me to go live with my father (who didn't want any of us kids) because she "doesn't want to have any CRAZY people in the house!"

I SHOULD HAVE been placed into some kind of intensive mental health treatment. And I believe that you should be too. I can't tell you how sad I am about your situation. Obviously you are in MEGA pain and in desperate NEED of competent mental health care. ("Healthy" people don't behave like you or I did.) Is there anyone you know who is kind and caring that you could tell what you've been through? A knowledgable and caring individual would see to it that you got the care that you need and DESERVE!

I really hope things get better and you're lucky you didn't do any harm.

But the mouthwash thing? was that bcuz u didn't have any water around to wash the pills down.

Wow, that's crazy. Please don't do that again - it's not worth it! I don't know anything about Wellbutrin, but taking that many Soma's alone definitely wasn't good. Did they not try and pump your stomach?

Be careful!

:o

Yes, please don't play this down. That doesn't sound like you just wanted to escape for a while- and even if you did, that tells me there's something wrong too (because a person thinking rationally wouldn't think of a mouthful of pills and mouthwash as an "escape"). Take this seriously and get professional help!

Dude I feel for you. Always try and remember, harming yourself isn't the answer even though at that particular time, it might feel like it. You just gotta try and push that little voice out of your head. Which can be difficult at times, I know.

I have been trying to find a way to deal with issues in my life also, especially when it feels like everybody/thing is working against you. I have come to the conclusion that it revolves around the 'bottling up of emotions'. Because when you bottle up negative emotions for too long, you feel the need to release them (possibly in a negative way). So what I recently started doing, is attempting to release the negative emotions/thoughts by writing down on in notepad all the things that are ****ing me off, upsetting me, and frustrating me in my life. Be really detailed about it, and write it like you are talking to somebody who is listening. For me, this has helped out alot. I feel much better after writing it down. Then after 'getting it off my chest'
I try and do something that is fun or that I am excited/passionate about. Like playing video games, watching tv, playing basketball, etc and forgetting about all the things that I wrote down. Its very important that you do things that make you happy on a daily basis.

Then a few days later take a look at what you wrote down. You might be surprised. It crazy how negative our thought processes can be sometimes. Sometimes we just get stuck in negative ruts. Happens to me all the time it seems, lol. Anyways I am probably rambling on right now so I will stop.

Feel free to send me a PM if you need to talk.

Maybe you were lucky and all the stuff you took canceled out?

I think it's because you didn't take anything really dangerous. The Soma you took was probably the most risky thing. You're lucky your heart didn't just stop beating.

Be careful next time. I know exactly what you mean about trying to escape for a while, but in my case I've always been afraid to do drugs or get drunk. Video games and the internet are the only thing that can take my mind off of anything. You need to find something like that that you can escape to when you have to.

So this was a cry for help? I don't know your situation at all. I personally would try to stay away from self destructing / overdosing on drugs, pills or alcohol. Maybe the most effective method for me is to be around other people I like (not just friends). Left on my own and to my own devices I am a depressed guy. Hanging out with a friend not only distracts the depression but gives me time to do something else beside cycling through negative thoughts. I've been to counseling and they recommend being around other people who either respect or like you. This is at least a short term solution. Get out there and do whatever it is that distracts you or makes you happy (w/o the self-destructive stuff). Just my two cents...
