Deneb,
you really need to find another outlet for your anxiety, depression and fearful obsessive thoughts. Doing OD's and SI is not the answer, will not help, and will only make you weaker and less able to cope down the road.You NEED professional help. Period. If you're not seeing a T now, get one immediately. You do not have the ability to handle your feelings of stress! If you really, really think you need to hurt yourself, then to to the hospital (without taking the OD) and ask for help. You don't deserve this, and neither does your mom with her broken wrist. Think of what a mess it would be for HER if you end up OD'd and strung out! (If you won't think of yourself, think of others, right?)
Now this will be easy to SAY and harder to DO, but here are things to do instead of SI or OD: Run, jog, bike. Go for a walk, walking hard, for 2-3 miles. Clean the house from top to bottom. Scrub the toilets, wash the windows, vaccum every corner, mop the floor, iron all the clothes. Get rid of your energy through work. Ask your MOm what you can do to help her out, then do it. Go grocery shopping. Shine the shoes.
You have a ton of negative energy stored up in you, and you need to get it out somehow. A lot of times, work and exercise are great ways to help drive down depression and anxiety, even if it's only temporary.
Of course, as I said, only do that route (work /exercise) if you're "safe" enough. If you're REALLY going to hurt yourself, you need professional help pronto.
If you hurt yourself, you're hurting your future, too.
Be kind to yourself. There are better ways.
Keep us updated.JenStar
