Why do you feel the need to put any of that poison in your body? I don't know what issues you have that make you think that suicide is the answer, but let me tell you about my nephew who was 16. About 15 years ago he shot himself in the front yard of his home and his mother came home and found him there. It's tragic and personally I think it's cowardly and selfish for someone to kill themselves and leave their families to clean up the mess and grieve for them. What does it solve?? NOTHING!
If you're looking for a reason to live, my advice is live for life itself! There are so many wonderous things about the world, just go out and experience them! Don't let other people's misery that they create, become your place to dwell. Be adventurous and let the world be your oyster as the song says.
I hope you find yourself a good therapist. Good luck!
omg see a doctor! ah yer scaring me! hope everything gets better ??
Contact poison control. They can tell you for sure what is going on based on what you've said and tell you what to do next if there is a need. Doctors will even go to them, because they know best.
If you ever feel suicidal again, please call 1800-SUICIDE (national suicide hotline) first. Take care of yourself.
Yes, you could have damaged your liver and your lucky that your alive. If your not experiencing any kind of side effects, such as jaundice, then you should be ok. I would recommend seeking help for your depression.
The best thing to do is see a doctor. If you were depressed he could have prescribed you anti-depressants, not some random pills you decided to take. Just promise yourself you won't do it again, I know..you felt terrible and thought the pills would make everything go away. Suicide can be treated. Go to the doctor, taking an overdose is not healthy what so ever.
call your doctor, sounds like you need somebody to talk to, they can set you up with a counselor. Oh, and don't do it again! next time you feel like doing that call a friend!!!
ok well apparently you're one of those morons that attempts suicide without first doing research (no offence)
paracetamol causes slow and painful death by liver failure
let me put this in simple terms.. usually paracetamol is metabolized by one enzyme. when you take too much that enzyme gets taken up and the paracetamol is metabolized by a different enzyme, which results in a product that destroys your liver. symptoms of paracetamol overdose show up about sixteen hours after ingestion, however at that time it is too late to administer the antidote. if you're still alive, you're probably fine but i would go see a doctor anyways.
next time you want to try to kill yourself, do some thorough research.
It could damage your liver
hello. go call a doctor..NOW
idk you but you seem like a very lovely person, and im guessing you dont deserve to die so go get help and best of luck!
