If you have stomach pains then get yourself to a doctor straight away. And you should have doctor-patient confidentiality

I agree with Carole, GO TO THE DOCTOR. The drugs you attempted to OD on could have damaged your stomach and probably your liver, depending on how many you took and whether or not you vomitted them back up (which could have caused damage to your stomach and esophagus).
I hope you're okay. :hug:

Why do I get the feeling no one knew about your attempted OD?

You need to go to the doctor straight away. Depending on the meds you took, there could be some damage, which would need medical help.

If you tried to kill yourself, you also need to be in therapy to work out whatever caused you to act in desperation.

This is not optional, just do it. You were lucky this time.

Assuming getting help would have been obvious, as going to the doctor would entail telling him or her what caused the the possible problems. In most cases therapists, counsellors and psychologists can only usually recieve new patients that have been referred to them by said patients GP (or at least that's how things work here).
Also IAMSAM, would you please stop acting like a mod, it's not appreciated.

i hope you've gotten medical attention by now :/

overdosing is an extremely painful way to die.

there is also a good chance you badly damaged your liver

aside from seeing counsellings for your issues i don't recommended trying whatever you did again, even if it was for the sake of getting some kind of high
