What Did I Do Now?

So I've got myself in a real pickle this time! I swallowed pills again. This time I took 7 days worth of my migraine meds+ 4 days worth of my anti-depression meds. I just wanted to zone out and sleep. My boyfriend saw me and told my parents i "took pills." My mom freaked and called 9-1-1. The fire ambulance came and took me out on a gurney in the front yard where the whole neighborhood saw! From there they took me to the hospital. I stayed in the hospital for 5 hours or so in ER where they did absolutely nothing but put a cop at my door! The psychiatric examiner didn't listen to a word i said. Such as stuff like, "i wasn't trying to kill myself!" and "i have a good support system." His response was, "You are a harm to yourself." This means they sent me to another hospital where I was placed on a 72 hour psychiatric hold. This means that i'm under surveillance by doctors and nurses to make sure i'm in a good state to not kill myself again. When the doctor thinks your ok you can leave. This could be before or after the 72 hour hold. While you're there you go to group therapy sessions throughout the day. This seems awful at first but i actually did learn a lot about myself and my needs. It was a good thing in the end. I missed my family, i missed my dog, and ultimately i missed good food! I will continue to write about my time on the inside in the following days.
