my roommate tried to kill herself

[puddlemonkey]

Sounds like she's stabalized, but they're going to monitor her liver function and other vital signs closely for a few days. I tried to off myself that way when I was 15, and came damn close to succeeding. I was in the ICU hooked up to about a million things and they took blood for testing at very regular intervals. She might have done more damage (due to already being weakened by lack of nutrition, or maybe it going through her system longer than it did mine, or a million other mitigating factors), but I took an entire unopened bottle (of like 100 pills), all of it absorbed into my system before they got me to the hospital, and still pulled through. I hope she does too, and the people who love her make sure this is a one time thing and that she really gets help afterwards.

A world without nef is not a world I want to know.

All kidding aside, I hope she gets better. I didn't know that you can commit suicide on aspirin, but suicide is always a sad story.

I hope you did that because you were being an irrational stupid teenager.

I did it because every day I suffered flashbacks and every night I was having nightmares from when I was raped two year prior. I did it because no one knew, and I was silently drowning in my own pain.

Believe me, I found a new appreciation for life when I saw a little boy die next to me in the ICU and had to witness his family grieving. I actually still have a hard time frgiving myself for putting my parents through that, but afterwards I really took a swing for the better and started fighting again.

Let it go... You are alive and your parents are happy about it, It's all that matters. At least the mutha fucka got what he deserved?

by overdosing on aspirin. She was passed out in the living room foaming at the mouth; paramedics said she was 'ok for now' as they took her away in a stretcher. Does that mean she is guaranteed pull through? I am worried about how her kidneys/liver will handle it because she is anorexic. Also is she going to become a ward of the state for a while? Are suicide attempters released when they get better or do they go straight to a pysch center?

Chances are she did more damage to her stomach lining than her liver and kidneys..

what a stupid bitch.

overdosing on aspirin is probably one of the most painful ways to die as the actual cause of death would be severe hemorraging of the stomach lining and bleeding to death internally, very slowly.


For fuck sakes.. if your gonna kill yourself at least spend five minutes on Al Gores famous internet and learn how to do it right so you dont burden humanity with your stupidity.

It's been almost 12 years...for the most part I've let it go....but I love my parents deeply and hate that I ever scared them that badly.

Yes, he finally got what he deserved, but only this past year. All I could do by that point was get his name on file. Last year he assaulted another girl and they asked me to come in. I helped her case and he's finally behind bars.
