Question Posted Wednesday February 27 2013, 1:58 pm
I'm a 13 year old girl in grade 7. I was sexually abused for 4 years but got it sorted out now. My best friend knows about everything I'm gonna be righting about. I've tried killing myself about 3 times once before she came to my school and twice after by taking sleeping pills usually about 5-7. Well I wanna again I really don't wanna live. I'd just like to know what is the most you can take by at the point you'll die? I don't wanna tell my friend this cs she has enough problems of her own right now. I wanted to cut myself last night but I got to scared. Pls just tell me the ammount of pills that would kill you. And how long will you sleep if you take about 7 or 8 and how will you feel the next morning. I weigh 42 and my height is 155 cm.

I tried to overdose on my antidepressants. I ended up vomiting for hours, hallucinating and drifting in and out of consciousness. My eyes kept twitching to the point where I couldn't focus on anything, and I was seeing double. I thought I was going to die that night, and while it didn't bother me, it nearly killed my soon-to-be husband. I'm lucky I didn't do any permanent damage to my body, because it's common for people to end up with severe liver or brain damage when they overdose.
You're right that your friend may not be the best person to help you, but that's because none of us are really equipped at 13 to deal with the sort of things you're dealing with. Find an adult that you can trust. It may be one of your parents, another relative, a teacher or your guidance counselor. Or pick up the phone and call a suicide hotline. Just don't let yourself be alone with a decision like this hanging over your head.
What you've gone through is awful and traumatic, but it doesn't have to be the basis for the rest of your life. Many people survive sexual abuse and go on to live full, happy lives. Give yourself a chance, because you've got a lot ahead of you. [ NinjaNeer's advice column | Ask NinjaNeer A Question ]
