Taking Pills

	Recently I've been purposely overdosing on pills a lot to take away the pain and emptiness. I have attempted suicide a few times before but I seem to be overdosing as a form of self-destruction (I'm not a cutter), I usually take a whole packet at once, I took a box of aspirin 2 days ago and it felt good. Does anyone else overdose like this? Also, does it make you feel better, like damaging yourself and feeling the effects of the drugs make you feel empowered somehow?

	sometimes i overdose because i want to sleep away the emptiness I feel. I'm not a cutter either but I have been a pill popper since my late teens. I don't feel empowered by doing this. I feel immature and silly actually. But my goal is to induce a sleep state so I won't feel any pain. I always get sick when i overdose. I hate taking my bc now because of the last time I tried to overdose.

	i've tried to overdose on ills before all it did was make me very sick. I had to go to the er once and get my stomach pupmed it was no fun at all and I literally thought I was gonna die. I haven't did that in years and aspirin can do major damage to your liver. that was suppose to e pills

	i used to have an addiction to paracetamol and took about 5 everyday but then i stopped for a while. last month i got backl on them again and once took 24 in a day as well as 5 migraine tablets and various other stuff. there was no damage, it just made me sleepy

	I didn't realise you could get hooked on paracetamol, they're are supposed to be non addictive, now codeine's a different thing, that can be very addictive. I have to say though paracetamol is very, very bad for your liver but it's kinda a slow process unless you take a s--- load of them. I don't think taking too many migraine meds is a good idea either. The best thing to do is go to your Doctor who can refer you onto who she thinks will help you the best, be it a Psychiatrist or a Therapist. Keep Safe Kas xx

	Ive been on mine for 4 months now and I dont know what got into me. I was on them for 2 years before and got off when i thought i was ok. Ha there isnt a cure for this disease. When no one answered after a while i went and chugged tequila to pass out. It was just a bad night and ive been stable for so long, but im going through a break up so its bringing out the old terrible side of me. im 23 and i just feel too old to still be cutting. i started self injuuring at 8 and cutting at 17 so im just like when does it end? thanks for saying youll be there. i know you guys understand.

	I also quit taking my meds cause I thought I was ok after a year's treatment, but then it took a year of down spiraling back into disease until one day they had to inject tranquilizers for my panic attacks :( so I'm back on treatment and I hate it cause I feel uninspired, empty, I gain weight, I have sleeping disorders, and the list goes on, I just don't feel the urge to self harm that often and I don't have any panic attacks (and for that only, I'm continuing this torture). Sorry you had one of those nights, the first time I wrote on these forums no one answered me either and I cut myself... and also, the other day my best friend hurt me so I drowned myself in beer and hash early in the morning without having breakfast, I only felt worse, of course, and I decided to quit drugs... again... it's been 3 days and I haven't been able to stop drinking... today I had cravings but just for weed, so it wasn't that bad, just mental. I'm 20 and I don't think there's an age to stop hurting yourself if you're borderline...

	Thanks for the warning. I am on two different types of meds and always thought about overdosing. But I might still try cutting. I've got to do something to get rid of this constant pain.
