I take overdose chlororomazine 100mg

[Hear Again]

That "someone" is not the people I was referring to.

The people I was referring to are those who responded to "someone"'s post.


Clearly, you people are very upset over this, I'm saying this, DON'T BE. STOP BEING NEGATIVE. If you think positive, then positive things will go to "someone". That's all, as long as the aura/vibe of ours are positive, "someone" will feel positive. It's probably based on how much attention "someone" is getting.

Would you like someone to take that approach (i.e. not to be upset) if YOU were actively suicidal? I can't believe you actually said that.

Kudos to Jolie, Jillio, and Alex for resolving this urgent matter with haste and genuine concern!!

If you knew how to read the IP address, you could find us exactly. Scary.


Oh, I take 1000 MG of THC everyday. I'm that fucked up. :\

I've always enjoyed your odd humors now and then... but in this case -

SHUT THE FUCK UP!

Hear Again,
Thank you for sharing your most personal struggles so freely with us. I hope we deserve your honesty. I wish more people would ignore the stigma associated with mental illness and seek the help they need to live a full and satisfying life. Clearly you are doing that.

As for Travis, I agree that his "overdose" in most people would not be lethal, but is a clear plea for help. I hope that with the support of so many wonderful people on AD and in his life, he too finds that help.

Thanks, DeafDoc!

I feel that by sharing my experiences with Bipolar, perhaps others will learn that they aren't alone in suffering from a mental illness. There are lots of people currently undiagnosed with depression and/or Bipolar out of denial, fear or lack of knowledge.

You've probably noticed my signature which says "Bipolar Survivor" and the tag written underneath my username "Mentally Interesting/5150." I'm not ashamed of the fact that I have Bipolar because it is what it is. It's a fact of life and something I can't deny or run away from. I've been there, done that and suffered lots of negative consequences because of it.

Thank you, Jiro.

As I've mentioned before, I'm currently taking 3 pysch meds (soon to be 5) and I *don't* consider myself f*cked up. What I am is "mentally interesting."

at least you didn't make this thread a laughing matter like what imdeafsowhat cuz I don't find this humorous. This is a person who is crying for help. Sure maybe he's pulling a twisted prank on us. Maybe not. I still consider all cases like this a serious one.

 

[Hear Again]

Personally, people needs to be lighten up. This thread actually put people in despair. No need!

THE WOLF IS HERE.

And "the wolf" is not a psychiatrist, so don't tell us all how we should be responding to Travis' cry for help. Shame on you, imdeafsowhat for being so insensitive.

The fact is, even if this is a prank, that, in and of itself, is a sign of needing help.

Jiro, I think Travis is a nice and sweet person. He said before how lonely. I don't think any way this was a joke. I think he is desperate.

I agree, Bott. I've been following Travis' posts since he became a member. He is very isolated and unhappy. He was reaching out.

Yep, so do I. Mental illness and suicidality are not things that should be joked about.

I was diagnosed with MDD (major depressive disorder) back in the early 90s and was suicidal 95% of the time. As a result, I had to be hospitalized 6 times to date. When people like imdeafsowhat make a joke out of suicide, it literally makes me sick.

Yep, I remember Travis' posts talking about how unhappy he was in Saskatoon and how much he wanted to leave.

Isolating oneself is one of the signs that someone is suffering from depression.

 

[jillio]

I think something we should all keep in mind is people who attempt suicide generally don't want to die. They simply want their pain to stop, and don't see any other alternative. They must be given alternatives.

 

[Hear Again]

I sincerely hope that Travis is able to receive some itensive psychiatric help which includes better psych meds, ECT and therapy. It has been proven time and time again that the most effective combination of treatment for depression and Bipolar are meds and therapy.

If it wasn't Travis who started this thread, the other alternatives are rather unpleasant.

I wasn't suggesting that it wasn't Travis who started the thread. I am suggesting that a suicide attempt is a way of asking for help, moreso than a true intent to end one's life. When those who are suicidal are given meds and therapy allowing them to find alternative ways to deal with their emotional pain, they no longer express suicidal thoughts.

Actually, I could tell from Travis' writing style it was him who wrote the original post. There is no question in my mind about that.

Nor mine. His phrasing is very consistent. It would be hard for someone to imitate.

Kudos to Jolie and Jillio for working together and getting in contact with the proper authorities to alert them of the situation.

I hope Travis is sleeping well under the watchful eye of a medical professional and is lined up to have his meds and or therapy changed so that he is more able to deal with his problems in a rational manner.

I agree that suicide isnt an actual wish to die, it is a way to end the pain that they constantly feel and want to escape.

I myself am I a suicide surivivor, both times I ingested an entire bottle of Tylenol extra strength tablets. The first time I ended up in the hospital for a week with kidney failure, never told them what I took for fear of being hospitalized in a mental ward.

The second time, I never went to the doctor but I was seriously ill for about a week with a constant ringing in my ears and puking my toenails up. I was also getting really strange visual hallucinations. The second attempt I believe was more of a will to die, so to speak, I was like OK I'll just ingest these and if I wake up dead, so be it because the pain will be gone.

I have never been on medications a day in my life although I admit that I probably should be in some as I will have my manic and my depressive modes. In the bottom, I lose interest in everything, even to the point that showering becomes a chore. When I'm up top, Im crazy overly excited etc and Im more 'out there', almost to the point of being an attention whore.
I will admit though that I hate being 'flat' or between moods because it just feels very 'un-normal' for me. I tend to cycle more when the seasons change, like from fall to winter and from winter to summer, etc.

I apologize for having an 'about me' post, but I thought I would share my experiences, and suicide is something you should never joke about.

imdeafsowhat needs to grow up and realize there are people out there who have worse problems and they can't just 'lighten up'. Please, do not add any further comment to this thread as you detract the discussion and direct the attention to yourself when clearly someone else, the original poster, is in dire need of an emergency intervention.
