I think you should call the poison control center just to be on the safe side.

Sorry, I'm not forcing you to do anything. I just don't want you to suffer.
I know about ODs...I've done them myself. I often regret taking them. Sometimes things take unexpected turns. I know the difference between self harm and suicide attempts. It would be a shame to die accidentally.

"but i just took a whole bottle of ibprofen, its not doing anuthing to me because i am ammune because of past incidents"
My understanding is that just the opposite is true, although perhaps Chemist or someone could chime in here. I have heard that once you OD on ibuprofin, you damage your liver. Now that your liver has been compromised, the next OD is even more toxic to it, until you wind up on dialysis, or worse.
Please DO go to a hospital asap and let someone take care of you. The longer you wait before getting treatment, the worse the damage to your liver. Even if you feel fine right now, that does not mean you ARE fine.
Take care! Emmy

Geri,
Please go to the Emergency Room of your local hospital. I care about you, so please take care of yourself. You sound like you are in a lot of pain. Please let people help you with that. You've been having a hard time for a long time now. Please get some help.
(((Geri)))

Hey, Geri - I didn't read any lectures in this thread, just people who wanted to help you and were concerned. Giving advice about what sounded like a situation that could be dangerous. I'm glad you're OK.
Why don't you talk some more about what's going on for you? Getting it off your mind can really help sometimes.
You can babblemail or email me if you want.
This is a safe place, Geri. The posters here care about your wellbeing, OK?

We do care, I believe we do, yes. Even those of us who say dumb things, like me. And unintentionally hurt people, like me. But I will respond to a Do Not Post, I don't think I've had one yet and I'm actually really surprised about that.
Geri, my hope for you is to feel safe, safe enough to share yourself with us and to find your own really strong inner core, by knowing you. This is a wonderful place, Babble is just about the best thing that's ever happened for me.
Besides the AD's and the other.. substance.
How are you, Geri? You have a habit of disappearing .. come back...

i just don't wanto to be like this any more. i don't want to be the weak one pretending tobe strong. I don't want to admit it because i don't wnat it. I am leaving for school on sunday and because of that i am loosing my best friend. She has been the only one i could ever turn to, and now i have to say goobye. I havent been happy for a long time, and now i have my friends telling me they don't like being around me because i am always in a bad mood. I DIDN"T ASK FOR THIS!!!!!!!!! i want to be normal again, when my biggest problem was a new zit.i just don't know what to do anymore, i can't do this, i can't pretend but i refuse to admit that i have a problem. i feel like everyone are always against me, even if they aren't, you know how hard it is to be happy with who you are when you don't even know who that is. I am scared of moving on in life because i am afraid i will fail. i don't want to be a no bosy, but i am afraid that i will. I don't know if i have the strength to carry on. I ask God every day but sometimes i feel as though he doesn't hear me or he is too busy. He is the only true one i have and now sometimes i question that. I know that is not right to say but that is how i feel. He is my father, the one i turn to for every, but sometimes i need some one here to just tell me it will be ok and wrap their arms around me and protect me!!! i just don't have that, i don't have anyone.

It is scary to trust after you've been hurt.
I'm sorry you're leaving your friend.
I'll guarantee you that God is always there and that He'll never give up on you. He does hear you! Sometimes He answers in ways we don't want to hear, and that sucks, but that's the way life is. And sometimes He'll send you to talk to babblers! ;~}
A big hug from crazy t!

You have a lot on your plate. It's almost Sunday. Where's school, what type of school etc? If you're always in a "bad mood" lately you're possibly really depressed, are you taking AD's or anything, seeing a therapist, like I think most of us here. It's so hard to cope by yourself in life, it really is.

I'm glad that you will keep yourself safe. It worried me that you didn't seem to think that taking lots of pills was dangerous.

Which Mansfield? There's one in the UK, one in Australia, and twelve in the US. Can you not get a therapist or a psychiatrist's help?
