i have posted about this in depression forum aswell but havnt got any response as yet.

well, i announced myself engaged,among friends, when in reality im not engaged. the reason i did this is complicated. i was experiencing depressive symptoms for past few days...and then i got upset due to spme friends....there was work pressure also.....the result was i took overdose of sedatives for 3 consecutive days.... and when i woke up i was so depressed. and then i went to meet my family on psychiatrist's advice. im currently on medication for depression since then.

i dont know whether i took sedatives due to depression OR im depressed due to the overdose. i announced my fake engagement and there is no going back from it because then it will be very humiliating may be that is the 'attention seeking behaviour'.

i have pushed away some really nice people during this episode.

another thing. if i have done the mistake of declaring myself engaged...why dont i stop worrying about it now!!!! i mean i do have to have something to worry about all the time!
