my roommate tried to kill herself

This is exactly what will happen. Medical clearance first, then psych eval. If she passes it, or can be convincing enough, she'll go home, if not they can hold her for 3 days before seeking court permission to hold her longer, but I highly doubt that. Also during these three days, if insurance permits and there is space at a near by mental health facility, she could be transferred there.

Im smart arent I???????

gonna take more than asprin to lay her down bro. She will be fine. Human body can take a beating. Cry for help IMO.

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?

Better if she goes to a ward or something. Failed suicides are a cry for help moreso than a I want to leave this earth. If people really want to kill themselves they will use a sure-fire method.

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.

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