I have been feeling suicidal for a while now and have researched how much of which over the counter drug to take for an OD. I haven't been able to act on it because I don't want to make my family go through finding me and trying to move on. My mom already thinks it's hurt fault that I am the way I am and she beats herself up over it, no matter how many times I tell her it isn't my fault.
My best friend has tried to overdose twice now, last time being only a couple weeks ago, at which time I called the ambulance to her house. My girlfriend also told me she'd spent most of the day at the hospital yesterday because she thought she might hurt herself.
I'm scared because these are the only two people I have in my life outside my family, and they are both a danger to themselves. I'm scared of being left behind and having even less reason to stick around. I don't know what to do.
I normally cope by cutting, but that is getting worse and worse for me as well. I was once content with just a thin line of blood, and now I'm not satisfied unless it's dripping. I lost feeling in a small part of my cut last time, which had never happened before. I'm scaring myself. Every time I'm driving by myself I consider running myself off the road, and I have my OD plan in the back of my mind. That said, I also have my reason for staying: my family.
That's the reason my psychiatrist and my therapist haven't done anything about it. They figure because I have a reason to stay that I'm not an immediate threat to myself.
I think about suicide often despite my reason to stay. I'm having a hard time coping without either restricting my food or cutting (I can't typically make it through a full week without at least one of these things).
What should I do? I feel like there is absolutely nothing to be done.
