I didn’t really f*ck my life up as much as I thought I did… Just another mistake tho to add to the list of them
If you ever overdosed dont blame yourself too much…
What did you overdose on? Was it accidental?
That’s good that you didn’t ■■■■ up your life so bad
It was adderall. The case is with many psychotic people they escape boredom most usually by abusing amphetamines…
I took 8 pills of 10mg in 2 days and before I knew it I am calling the hospital. Had delusions

Oh. Thank god your ok. Amphetamines make psychosis worse I’ve been told too.
I’m accepting it in 2017 but it happened ages ago
i don’t think that’s overdose levels is it? 80mgs in 48 hours… I know people who regularly take 3 30mg pills so 90 mgs in one go… they just worked really hard im guessing its no good on the heart and def no good for your mental health…so def not saying taking 8 10mg pills is safe or should be done by anyone its def abuse of prescription substance…and def higher than the recommended dosage…i think 1 30mg pill in 24 hours is about as much as you can get from your doctor… just saying i don’t think about 40mgs a day over 48 hours is a lethal amount…
im guessing the amphetamines plus lack of sleep triggered psychosis… i wouldn’t beat yourself up about this… you learned your lesson im guessing… and wont be abusing and binging on amphetamines to combat boredom… you learned amphetamines are no good in general if your prone to psychosis even in moderation… and that taking a bunch and staying up multiple days will def trigger psychosis… and got all these lessons without permanent damage…

Yeah I definitely learned my lesson. Just another one to the list of guilts that I’m accepting.

It’s not a mistake if you learned from it.
Another quote I like:
If you hold a cat by the tail you learn things you cannot learn any other way. Mark Twain
An Adderall overdose is what caused my first psychotic break as well. But my mental stability had been steadily declining for about a year prior to that.
I used to take Adderall. There is some question as to whether or not it contributed to my first psychotic break. I was taking a very low daily dose, so it’s doubtful.
A little over a year ago, though I went bonkers and took all of my mood stabilizer’s and my AP’s. What happened was I lost total motor capability. I flopped around on the floor like a fish in my own pee for like 12 hours unable to help myself. I was f…i…n…a…l…l…y able to drag…myself onto the bed where I slept for 6 hours and then called the ambulance. Ya, don’t OD on your AP’s! It won’t kill ya, it will just shut off all communication between your brain and your muscles. Not good.
Congrats on acceptance 
good for you.
