A lil bit depressed


Question Posted Saturday February 12 2005, 10:52 pm

Hey there...
I need a lottle help as to what to do in this kind of situation... I just found out not too long ago that a secret was being kept from me about one of my friends tryin to kill herself and how she ended up in the hospital and everything... and all of that jazz... and how 2 of my other friends "saved her" by calling the ambulance and stuff... Once i got to think about it.. I wondered what the hell her problem was and how she got all of the attention and stuff(and she did this by overdosing on IBprofun by the way) And i was sitting there getting mad b.c. i didnt think that she should have done anything like that. And i was mad b.c. I've been feeling really depressed lately and nobody understands me.. so i was thinking about doing the same thing... only with soma's (since my moms a drug addict and i can get that stuff) and i cry at night thinking about this and how i wish that ppl would see and it didnt have to go to an extreme like this.. what should i do?
p.s. my friends mom just died yesterday and so now im really worried about her

Thanks
**Help Needed**

okay... wow this is a small world.. my friends mom died not too long ago as well! what ever you do... dont do it! Im sure that no matter how much you think about it and think that not enough people care.. there are..you just dont know it. And also... those people who do care about you, you'd be hurting them.. a whole lot. If you did do it they would be so angry with you and also people would start saying that you did do it becasue of attention... just really think about this... let me know what you think.. and if u eed anymore help either ask me here or you can IM me..

You are NOT depressed, you are NORMAL. Everybody goes through a "nobody understands me" phaze and since you said that you were mad because your "friend was getting all the attention" then this is not about being depressed, it's about being ignored. Suicide attempts in order to get attention are silly because you can actually DIE and there goes the rest of your life and what you could do with it. Yeah, you would fix them all real good wouldn't you? But you wouldn't be around to see it so what's the point.

Now, your friend could have done some real damage to herself with her ibuprofin OD-she probably thought that it wouldn't kill her but would get everybody's sympathy. It could have killed her-very slowly. by way of liver failure, kidney failure, or massive GI bleed.

And consider what actually happens to people who overdose (I spent 18 years on an ambulance, I know.) First, you take the pills and chances are, you puke them up before they get to you. OR you are half out of it and THEN puke and suck some ot it down your lungs and get aspiration pneumonia which will probably no kill you but will leave you miserable for awhile. Then, sombeody finds you and calls 911. Somebody like me show up and you get flopped on a stretcher and stuffed in am anbulance. We hook you up to a heart monitor, pulse ox, and you get a big IV. Then, if you fight, you just get sat on and all that stuff anyway. THEN, if you are not conscious enough, we stick a tube into your throat and breathe for you. At some point, somebody sticks a tube in your stomach and pours charcoal into it. And a tube into your bladder (3 guesses how it goes in). So does this still sound like a good idea?

I most definitly know the feeling and have my own private stories...Ok you might not know it but you want someone to understand you and give you attention that's what you need..attention Look i read my little sister's diary and found out she was trying to go all out and be all "popular" and it's bc of my crazed parents who give us a terrible life and no one thinks or bvelieves her...everyone needs attention you just have to find out how to get it

Well, heres the deal, your friend is an idiot. Your stupid for thinking about killing your self and your moms stupid for doing drugs. Your screwed. If you want to kill yourself go ahead, your not worthy on earth if you think you should die, your just a depressed ball spreading all the bad things around. If you want to live, which i highly reccomend cuz u sound like a teen, you have barely lived your life out yet, you dont know wut to be depressed about yet. Dont kill yourself.

You have a lot going on in you life right now, and you need to sit down and calm down. Write down your feelings in a journal, Vent! Dont even think about overdosing. Its the wrong way to go. It is not the answer to your problems. PLease dont hurt yourself in anyway. There are tons of people who care and love you and would not like to see you hurt yourself in any way. I hope you think about wat i said, and i hope everything will be ok with you, ur friend, and your mom!

I understand where you are coming from. I was really depressed and just recently got help and now im on anti-depressents.
keep in mind that your friend could be going through the same pain that you are in... just no one knew, just like how you say no one knows how depressed you are. I think you should tell your parents, or a friend or some one how misrable you are. i know its hard to talk about, seeing as i was depressed for at least a year before anyone started to notice. if i were you, the first person i would talk to is your friend who might be going through the same sort of thing. she would most likely understand where you are coming from, and she will be able to talk about it with you since she knows what its like. then after that it will be easier to talk to some one else about it, like a friend that would take action or a trusted adult - some one that can get you some help. i know that its really not fun to be depressed, and no one deserves to be. you dont deserve this pain, but you have to make the first move in getting rid of it by seeking help. if you dont, nothing will change (most likely) but please, please dont try and kill yourself. there are better ways to escape the pain. i hope this helped. if you need more help IM me on xblackfirenightx or email me at xblackfirenightx@yahoo.com. hope i helped!
