I accidentally overdosed on my anti depressant a few weeks ago. I was admitted into the main hospital for three days. But they didn’t send me to psych ward since I said it wasn’t attempted, just being an idiot. .
What I did not tell them, when I realized I had overdosed, was that I waited for a full two hour before getting help because I didn’t want drama. I felt sick and got out of bed, blacked out. Woke up later on the floor. Then called for paramedics. Should I tell this to my doctors that I waited to get help, so is that actually considered suicidal?
If you don’t want to be admitted then don’t tell them you did it on purpose.
If you learned your lesson and don’t want to do it again then just leave it.
If your thinking about doing it again then tell them and they’ll probably admit you.
Be careful it can mess you up doing something like that.
I accidently took 30 zopiclone sleeping pills once I’d never even tried them before. I vaguely remember being in a daze and taking them thinking ‘well see what happens’ and took the whole bottle
Woke up the next day and my eyes hurt for 2 weeks.
It wasn’t a deliberate suicide attempt, but you’re obviously struggling and that’s understandable as you seem to get put through the wringer on a monthly basis. It’s okay to share that with your team and it’s okay to accept threatment if they think you need it. Generally, the more open you are, the more trust you get back. Pays off in the long run.
@anon55031185 Yes, you don’t want however this happened to happen again. Might have to handle store your medications in daily containers. But how did this happen? Guess you will never know. But yeah still report it.
I keep my meds in a safe locked. And have 7 week daily sorted in one of those pill dividers.
Sorry to have heard this news here I thought you were doing well life is complicated full of things and even Hoops we don’t want to go through I have faith you’ll make it make sure you make a checklist that is a symptom checklist take medicines properly way they are described how to remember to have faith in yourself always hell I even had faith in you
Thank you for your support. I take ten pills of a certain drug for my arthritis, and it looks a lot like my anti depressant in the half dark. So I accidentally took ten of my anti depressant instead of my methotrexate. It was a simple mistake. But very dumb. But I should not have waited once I realized my mistake. I don’t know why I waited. It was in the moment I was okay if I died and I didn’t want to do anything.
