I overdosed (& drank a bottle of wine on top of it) about 3 mos. ago & ended up in the ER. MY husband found me crying hysterically & could tell something was wrong with me. He asked what I had done & I told him. I just wanted the pain to stop. He called poison control & then said to take me to the ER. I blacked out while I was there.

The next day I felt so ashamed. I haven't done anything like that in a long time (have bipolar 1). It scared me pretty good, too, to act so rashly & irrational. Back to my doc & therapist. Increased one of my meds & added another to help me sleep.

I think you'd better go see your doc ASAP. Your family took a great risk in not taking you to the hospital. Please try to take control of your depression & reach out for help from your doc & a therapist. You need professional help. Your family is not equipped to help you at this point, IMO.--Suzy
