Hello watermelonrind: I'm sorry you are struggling with this.

I cannot say I have had the experience you've had. I have overdosed twice. But in those cases, bringing my existence to a close was what I had in mind.

What I can say though is that, over the years, I have found quite a few different ways to abuse myself. So, based on that, what I do know is there are plenty of ways to go about it if one feels the need to self-abuse.
