I'm posting here since I need to log in to the appropriate section. Perhaps the moderator could please move this thread there.
This is related to my first post here. A few months ago, I was in college studying for a career that I didn't want to get into. I hated the program since I first started it. The third, and my final, semester in the six-semester program was very stressful. Added to the stress was my friendship with someone whom I thought was a very good friend, and was the best friend I ever had. I felt like she was giving up on me, and we were constantly arguing. There was a week where she completely ignored me; that made it hard for me to be in class as we were in all of our classes together. Finally, the day of my last attempt and first overdose came. (I've attempted before but not with medication.)
She told me she was losing her patience with me, and that people were telling her to just leave me alone. Well, and hour later, I grabbed my bottle of medication and, out of frustration and guilt, overdosed. The medication was prescribed for me to calm down in case of anxiety attacks. I felt drowsy; I stated in my instant messenger name that I overdosed, and that caught her attention. She approached me and said that she never said she was giving up on me, and stated that she was having an anxiety attack. She was breathing rapidly and looked like she was going to cry. The last thing she said to me that day was: "What am I supposed to do?"
I called a distress line because I was feeling sad, especially after seeing her reaction. The person I spoke to got me to call an ambulence. I acquiesced, and paramedics came and took me away to the hospital. I was just feeling a bit tired throughout the ordeal. At the hospital, the nurse just took a blood sample, and a doctor asked me why I made an attempt. Later on, a social worker came and spoke with me. I was discharged from the hospital after a few hours. I felt numb.
A few days later, she was again ignoring me. I confronted her, and her reason for abadoning me was because of this. She accused me of making her feel bad. The last words she ever said to me in person were: "Leave me alone! Leave me alone!" The rest is history...
