Well, my friend told me that nail polish if you drank enough would kill you. Please don't lecture me or anything....but, recently I have been just really sad and mad at the world and I feel like my world is crashing down. I drank about a third of the bottle about 30 minutes ago. Nothing has happened so far. I don't know what to do. I was talking to my bf at the moment I made the decision and he kept telling me please, no, don't do it. But I didn't listen and I did it. He was mad at me when I told him I did, and he's never been this mad at me before. He won't talk to me now. If I live, what should I do now? I still feel like theres nothing to live for, and what is worth living for, him, everyone keeps me away from him. Or will I even live? And I'm dead serious on this question. This is not a joke, so please give me serious answers, and no lectures, I've heard it all before.
Additional info, added Wednesday October 4 2006, 9:54 pm: Ok, I looked at the bottle, and it was already half way gone when I did it, and I drank about 1/4 of that, it wasnt really that much..... Want to answer more questions in the Health & Fitness category? Maybe give some free advice about: Mental health? 7ROCK7ANGEL7 answered Monday October 16 2006, 4:12 pm: if your sad dont do that thats taking a cowards way out your obiously naive and you need to take a second look at yourself were you happ after you drank that portion of mailpolish?

Samanilla answered Sunday October 8 2006, 11:21 am: GET HELP. I can't stress that enough. Suicide is serious, and is usually provoked by depression and/or anger issues. Talk to your parents about options. There's counseling, psychiatry, and maybe even just talking to your parents will help. And, your boyfriend is probably upset by his worry for you, and his way of dealing with this is shutting you out. Talk to him, explain things to him, and if he loves you, he;ll come around.

Genrawks2 answered Thursday October 5 2006, 5:41 pm: I don't think 1/3 nail polish does anything but I'm not a doctor, I wouldn't know. >.>
I'm going to respect your wishes and not lecture you. But what you're saying/doing is fucking stupid.
I'm not joking, get help.
And I'll restrain myself from saying anything more.
Erinn_the_bamf answered Thursday October 5 2006, 3:56 pm: How old are you? I'm going to assume you are between 14 and 16. OK first off, call the paramedics immediatley. Even if it wasn't much you need to get checked out. Then tell your parents or guardians.
About your life if you do live? Start going to conculing. You attempted suicide, there is probably some sort of depression going on. About your boyfriend? It will take him a while to trust you again. Just explain you are sorry and you love him because that really is all you can do. Give him time he will most likely come around. [ Erinn_the_bamf's advice column | Ask Erinn_the_bamf A Question ]
mwalnutss answered Thursday October 5 2006, 12:23 pm: life is a gift. its not something you just throw away. i use to try and commit suicide. but what is commiting suicide going do? aviod problmes, no it makes your love ones go through problems. make you happy, idont know, but it will make others around you upset. will it make people respect you, no, they might think you a woss, that your scarded. i know your probably reading this, like make this bitch go away. im not trying to lecture you, im trying to save you. recently my friend's cusin commited suicide which has totally distroyed her. think about what your death will to do to your boyfriend, or your mom, or your best friend, your neighbors, think about how other people will feel. go see metical help. go get your body checked out... nail polish isent for drinking, that could really mess you up. think about life this way. life is a challenge. these things that make you want to commit suiside are just things you have to over come. life isent about taking a short cut to get out of here. its about living life to its fullest extent. not killing your self, unless you think your life is lived to the fullest extent, but i can tell you, your wrong if you think that. i hope if you do live that your boyfriend talks to you. i hope if you live that you become happy. i haope if you live you get help. i hope that your going be okay. i hope that im helping. cause suicide is just an easy way out. hope i helped.

Alpha345 answered Thursday October 5 2006, 7:14 am: First off, seek medical attention.
Second, seek pyschiatric attention. I'm going to tell you right now, you may not feel like there is nothing to live for, but there is ALWAYS something to live for, ALWAYS. I don't care if you say you don't. Ever wonder how things end when you die? Ever wonder how much your own family is gonna cry and mourn when you decide to commit to that untimely fate? What about your boyfriend, he obviously cares, so is that not worth living for? I can bet more than one of your friends is gonna ball their eyes out when they find out you tried to kill yourself, even more so if you succede
Don't come in here saying there is nothing to live for, because their is. Suicide is NEVER the good way out and I gaurantee you people have it alot worse than you. I remember talking to someone who was contemplating suicide because she said "everything was going wrong!". Then I felt the need to tell her everything wrong in my life and my friends lives. It shut her up real quick.
The end result though, I don't even have to know you to say, is that everything in the end will be alright, despite ANY circumstances. Get help, and stop thinking everything is so damn bad.
Elcee answered Thursday October 5 2006, 4:52 am: I don't think you would have done much damage by drinking a small amount of nail polish. However, I am not medically trained and you should ask someone who is qualified to answer. Is there a number you could call like NHS Direct in England - 0845 46 47. They will be able to tell you if there would be damage to your insides.
Your actions are definitely a cry for help and there are people out there only too willing to help you through whatever it is that is making you feel suicidal. We have Childline in England also (freephone 0800 1111) and they are more than capable of talking you through your anxieties. Do you have something similar where you are?
I know that life can be a bitch sometimes and it seems like there are no answers to the pain we are feeling. Life does get better and when you become an adult and are in control of what you do, it is somehow easier to deal with whatever happens. When we are young it seems like there are no good days, only bad. That is when we need our friends and family around us to give us that quick hug that says they care.
I am not going to give you a lecture because it is not necessary. I think you just needed to air your emotions in the only way you knew how at this moment in time.
Please ask someone who is properly trained and can listen and help you overcome this. You are a valuable member of the human race and one day you will realise that living is the best way to get even with those demons lurking around at the moment. Have faith in yourself and listen to those people around you who love you. All the very best for a very long and pleasant life. Take care. [ Elcee's advice column | Ask Elcee A Question ]
