I did years of counseling. There's nothing left to talk about.

My community has a good hotline. I've called them in the past when I've felt bad.
I tried to OD on one of my prescrip meds once. My pdoc took me off it for a time, but when he felt it was safe to put me back on it he did - but contracted me to safety with it, because it was literally the only thing that had helped me. So there is some leeway on the particulars of the laws too. The point though is no matter what you need to remain safe.

What kind of support system do you have?
