Trigger - what is sh?
Chez1 posted:
[TRIGGER] hi all, just want to share that I am very confused, i have only posted her once before, I explained that for me self harm only started recently but it is escalating constantly and I am scared of what I may do. I have no space left to cut, my other tool is too take meds, I have a load here so that is what i am going to go with. I am just wondering if taking excessive meds with no plan to od is a common sh behaviour? I hope to be here tomorrow to read the answers
Thank you in advance

[TRIGGER] PLEASE CALL A CRISIS LINE. YOU ARE NOT IN A GOOD SPACE CHEZ1.
YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT SUICIDE TENDENCIES AND YOU ARE NOT SAFE. HAVE YOU ALREADY HAD MEDS TONIGHT? YOU'RE MESSING WITH MORE THAN SH, YOU'RE MESSING WITH THE POTENTIAL LOSS OF LIFE.

Hi Chez, I'm just glad to see you and that you are ok.
I haven't had very good days latelly (no SH, just depressed) and have been trying several rooms. I then came to realize I don't think I am ready to put my life story out there yet and don't think that is fair to others in the rooms. Just confused and need to think about it.
You all did put a smile on my face, for that I thank you and the others.
Once posted it remains posted. Scarey thought.
Again, I am so happy to see you this morning. Stay safe.
(((((snoopy dance)))))
((((hugs))))
Have a long drive ahead today, but may be on later.
Take care of yourself.

the problem with messing with meds is that you are messing with your life. you may not plan on dying, but an overdose can kill you, if not totally mess you up physically. you definitely need to be seeking professional help.

Hi Chez -
I've had nights like yours last night so I completely understand where you are coming from. The problem is, that since this isn't an instant board, you may not get the responses you need in time. Please heed Caprice's advice and get a therapist or counselor to speak with, it helps a lot. And when it gets as bad as last night, call the crisis line. They can be very helpful and non-judgmental.
I hope the response you have received here warms your heart a little to see how many care about you. Even if we are just "cyber people" we do care!!!
OD'ing is very easy to do and most of the time doesn't result in the desired outcome. You end up a vegetable or on a ventilator the rest of your life - a much more depressing situation than you currently are in.
Please listen to the advice given and stay safe.
Hugs if okay.
Kate

hi sk, I get messing with meds is high risk and can go badly wrong, but can you explain to me about "mess up physically" is that not what self harm does, maybe not quite as fast as meds but ultimately physical harm/self harm has a long term physical effect on your body? But as I have said before, this is new to me so really not getting it.
