A few days ago I was feeling extremely discouraged. I mean, strongly so. Various circumstances. I couldn't stop ruminating about the stuff that had added up in my mind. My mind and my feelings were making me crazy. I was angry, frustrated, terribly hurt, and ashamed. I was trying to stop the thoughts and just blur them away until bedtime.

I took several pills of a certain medication. Nowhere near enough to cause an overdose, as in a permanent checking out. Technically, though, I guess I took an overdose because I took more pills than are prescribed. Is doing that an overdose? Or is just "taking too many pills"?

Also, what is the difference between wanting to quiet one's mind and the intention to die?

I did speak with my pdoc about what happened and will see my T today. But I'm really wondering what others who are actually living with a mental illness day to day think.
