In reply to Anybody here been locked up before?, posted by Deneb on March 27, 2006, at 21:46:12
I was locked up for ODing. I'm BPII and was rapid cycling at the time. The staff told me and my husband that while in the Emergency Department I re-obtained my *stash* of meds (which apparently must have been near my bed) and took more pills. I have no recollection of that, but they put me in restraints for 4 hours. My husband never believed I took more pills in the ED and thinks they put me in restraints so they could ignore me. I wish I knew. I just can't remember much until after I was admitted. It's awful enough to know that I overdosed initially but then to try again in the ED and not remember it, has always scared the sh*t out of me.
I'd like to know how people who have attempted suicide get over the guilt of putting their family and friends through h*ll.
