I tried telling her that mentally ill people are more likely to be abused and that's when she said that they turn to be abusers themselves and that it's a lot of them that do and that prison is made up of 75% of them.

Possible trigger:

So, hey why not just become a drug abuser. I couldn't cut myself so I just took a whole bunch of pills. I mean I already started doing it once in a while so why not do it often. I guess it's either that or hurting others because that's what people like me are fated to do.

I already know I'm a terrible person and I'm even more terrible and weak for turning to pills to fix my problems.

From what you have written it doesn't sound to me like you're a terrible person coldwut.

It sounds like you were triggered by someone saying something very generalised and ill-informed about people who have psychosis. I think many people would have been offended and upset by her statement.

I don't have experience of taking aspirin as self abuse, but I do know taking aspirin outside the dosage recommendations can be dangerous to your health. If you took more than you should please get medical help.
