I just took 6x my normal clonazepam. I feel dizzy. The world is glitchy and fake. All fake. Ending too. The world is ending. Mini overdose for practice.

My grandma died an hour ago. Will I be able to fly home for her funeral or will I be IP again?

I'm sad.

I'm so sorry about your grandma. Mini overdoses need to be taken seriously. Can you call your T and tell her/him what happen. Maybe get an emergency appointment.

I'm so sorry about your grandmother. Please call your tdoc or pdoc as soon as you can. I was IP when my grandmother and they let me checkout to see her and then come back. Please keep us posted.
Thanks for this!

I agree. Mini OD are still OD and should be taken seriously. Please call Pdoc or go to psych ER.

I'm sad, too, that your grandmother died. But I'm sure she'd like you to continue on with your life. As the others said, please call your doc and get some help for your grief.

Sorry for your loss

I agree with everyone -- call someone about this

I just lost my grandfather recently and it's definitely hard

You could ask or try to figure out if IP will let you go to the funeral if you have to go to IP. I've never been to IP, but you could ask? "I know someone who might need to go to inpatient..." blah blah blah if you're afraid of asking about yourself

I'm sorry about your grandmother. That is a tough situation.
It sounds like you need emergency medical attention. Please seek help immediately.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

Did you have just that one short IP stay? I'm wondering why your pdoc isn't being more proactive with you.

Talked to tdoc today. She wants me back in hospital. We're talking again in 2 hours and if I still sound bad it's hospital I go. I'm so upset about this. I'll miss my grandma's funeral. (I'd have to fly out to get there).

Im sorry you're gonna miss the funeral but I think she would want you to be safe, don't you? You'd be honoring her by loving yourself enough to go get help. We will be here waiting when you get back. Take it day by day. Just for today. Try not to worry because you'll be in good hands. <3

I'm so sorry for the loss of your grandmother.

It's tough combining grief and MI. It all hurts.

Sounds like you and tdoc have a good plan. If you need to go to hospital you're not a failure; you're taking care of yourself like your grandmother would want you to do. Take gentle care of yourself.

Please be honest with your therapist about the klonopin overdose. That needs medical attention as others have said. I agree that your grandma would want you to put your health first.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

I just talked to my tdoc and essentially begged her to let me stay at home overnight. Honor code as to taking no more overdoses. If I feel I can't stick to that, then I'm packing a bag and heading over there tonight.

Damn! What a double kick in the head. I'm so sorry. In addition to your therapist & family, it's obvious you've got a lot of support on these boards. Hang tight & try to take care.
