Tell me how it went afterwards

I'm sure you'll do great.

Do you know what you want to talk about?

I think yes...I should ask about his post (I'm not sure if I can). I should tell about sh...and some other stuff.

Possible trigger:

I was told that the guy I knew suicided. He wasn't my friend...but I was shocked. I'm not sure if I should tell T

Urgs! Which guy? I think you should tell T. Sounds like a great thing you could talk about... Also the SH and his post. I'm sure you can do this

I hope he'll be able to help you

I'm afraid T will hate me. I'm extremely nervous. (the post thing)

We were in psychology school together. About 10 years ago

Demunie · Jul 28, 2017, 03:07 AM

Wow, that's a long time. Still sucks and is still awful. I'm sorry

I'm sure T won't hate you. It's completly ok to bring that up if it's bothering you (which is completlty understandable - I'd be bothered too).

Looks like I won't be getting a couch or a kitten anytime soon. I need a new engine in my car, phooey.

Jul 28, 2017, 04:35 AM

That's awful, BCM. I'm sorry!

It's 5:30 am. My stepmom lives in the central time zone, so it's 4:30 am for her. Can someone please explain to me why we're having a text conversation right now? It's too early for this.

Trigger for SI.

Possible trigger:

Umm, so my workshop training starts in 45 minutes, and I just accidentally overdosed on pain pills. Oops. The Internet tells me that I'll be okay, but I don't feel great.

Every time I've ever attempted suicide it's been pain pills, so I'm really afraid to tell anyone because they won't believe it was an accident. I have no desire to die today.

Uhh... Okay. Are you ok?

Possible trigger:

Could you try... getting them out of your system? What kind of pain meds did you take? Paracetamol can be really damaging for your liver even on low dosages...

Yes, I am okay. I will be okay. I've already had 2 glasses of water since I posted. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to freak anyone out.

Possible trigger:

I took some acetaminophen that's in a cold medicine (650 mg) and then 800 mg of Ibuprofen 2 hours later. I'm just not supposed to take acetaminophen because my liver is kind of messed up from when I took like, 40 the last time I tried to commit suicide. I'm more concerned about having to talk about that I goofed (it was 100% accidental). I can't afford to go IP right now. I just can't.

I doubt that would be seen as anything other than accidental. Also, it's OK to mix acetaminophen and ibuprofen--they actually suggest giving both for kids with high fevers (like giving the one every 4 hours, the other every 6, or whatever the dosing schedule is), so if it's safe for kids, then it should be OK for adults (though I know you mentioned the other issue for you).

Morning couchies! Wow, a change in my username has proven to be quite freeing. Whodathunkit! I feel like a new woman seeing it this morning!!

And I will pull Tapatalk in line later today.

We just got one here. I tried a butter burger but haven't tried a custard product yet

What pills? How much did you take? This is concerning

It's best to wait a couple hours between dosing with acetaminophen and ibuprofin

H and I decided we're going to join the ever-expanding club of disconnecting our house phone and using only cell phones. End of an era eh? I'm just "ending eras" all over the place lately aren't I.
