Last Saturday I overdosed on benadryl, stopped breathing, and woke up three days later with a breathing tube down my throat.
I totally betrayed the trust of my therapist. The Monday prior I had promised I wouldn't kill myself. I don't know how to get his trust back! In general I'm so sad and scared. I let everyone down. I hurt everyone. I don't know how I can ever make this right again.

It is possible to make things right again but you may very well have to earn trust back and that will take time to re-establish. If you're willing to work at it T is probably willing, too. It can be done AND you can do it!

First of all I am glad you are ok. Trust isn't something that is given it is earned. You will be able to earn everyones trust back over time. Don't beat yourself up over it what is done is done. Start moving forward.

I'm very glad you're still with us, and hope you can find a way to earn back their trust. It'll take time, just keep trying to move forward, bit by bit.

Professionals understand laspes, they are human too -- you may have to work for the trust to come back, but you can get it and be forgiven for your lapse, considering your therapist is a good one. Have hope.

Your therapist's trust is important but i think you have more important things to address re your suicide attempt. Why are you feeling so bad and what can you do about it? Like others, i am glad you are still with us. You've had a very serious wake-up call and i think addressing your troubles are the priority. So sorry you're going thru this!

I agree that dealing with what leads to a sui attempt needs to be addressed first.

You've made it through another attempt. Chances are your luck will run out one of these times.
 I am saddened -- for you and for those closest to you-- that you continue to feel a need to OD. I feel your need to continue to OD needs serious attention, first and foremost. People who have been hurt by your attempts may need time to sort out their feelings. Please allow them time to heal. I hope you also find healing.  WC

I’m so glad you are ok.
 I do agree with Wild Coyote. It will take time to sort it all out.

Thanks everyone for your responses.
This OD was a serious wake up call.

I'm happy you're with us. Please be kind to yourself. Please work on getting back to wellness. That is your highest priority, not worrying what others think. I would hope your therapist and any others would agree with me. If they don't, then they are thinking more about themselves than you, and that would be wrong of them.

Ask your therapist to work through this with you. Any good therapist will understand and be compassionate about the whole thing.

Oh, sweetie (I use that term in the kindest way possible), I'm sorry you were brought so low, and VERY glad you are still with us. Wise words from others here. Please be gentle with yourself through this. There IS a way back, it will just take time and effort. You can do it!
