lost_lonely, I can't speak for her, but I think the reason Kim felt angry is because of how helpless somehow can feel when a total stranger online, at an unknown location and contact, tells you that s/he overdosed. It's human nature to have concern for the safety of others. If I had been in the chat room and someone said that to me, I would be angry also--angry with the fear of that person's health and safety and the fact that I would be at a loss to help more than I could. To your honor, you did a good thing in telling someone that you overdosed. That is calling for help, but it's like picking up the phone with ID blocking and dialing 9-1-1 and not giving them your address. That's maybe not the best example I can give, but you should get the idea. Please do consider going into chat sometimes--it really is a lot of fun!
