> Hi Deneb,

> I'm glad to hear you say that. And I'm glad that you seem to be looking at how this type of thing can affect other people who care about you.I am. I don't want to hurt the ones who care about me ever again.

> I think it's important to realize that many of us have either had problems with suicidal thoughts ourselves or maybe with family members. In my case, on Boxing day, I learned that my son had planned to kill himself on Christmas Eve; had a rope ready, in fact. That was pretty darned horrible for me, so to hear somebody talking about ODing is pretty heavy-duty. And I know you didn't think there was a chance of you dying, but as someone pointed out, our body can react differently, different times.

> I feel a bit edgy because you've said before that you weren't going to take pills again, but as it ended up, you did. Obviously calling the Distress Centre didn't solve the problem. I'm not sure if your pdoc is taking this situation seriously enough!!!I'm scared Kath. I said I wasn't going to OD ever again and I did OD again. I hope this trip to the hospital really set me straight. I can't OD again, ever. I'm afraid of myself. I don't want to die. I dunno why I keep ODing.
>Hey, Deneb, is there a counselling office at your University? My friend's daughter goes to Fanshawe, in London, Ontario & went to a counsellor there & received support around her depression/meds, etc. I wonder if this is an option for you??? If so, why not make an appointment with a counsellor? They might have some really good, practical help for you. In the past, I have found that Social Workers have a very different way of helping than Psychiatrists, or even than Psychologists. Also, a university counsellor would be VERY 'in touch' with the stresses & issues that students are dealing with.
I'm thinking of going to a career counsellor. I need to figure out my life.
