Ask Me Help Desk - What would happen, physiologically if I took 20 Darvocet and 1 Vicodin?

What would happen, physiologically if I took 20 Darvocet and 1 Vicodin?

Besides the obvious.
What exactly would happen to my body? Mind, organs, etc.

Why do you want to know? We don't give information to assist suicides here, and that what this sounds like.

I just need to know =/

Why? If you refuse to answer, then I'll have to ask a mod to close this thread. We do not do assisted suicides here.

It's not assisting. An answer could talk me out of it.
If I knew how to delete a question (if that is even possible) I'd do it myself.

So you're contemplating suicide and you want us to help?

Sweetie, we won't do that.

How about telling us what's brought this on? What's going on in your life that you think this is the only option?

How old are you?

As for Darvocet and Vicodin, it would be a very painful, very slow death.

Please don't do this. I've been here and trust me when I tell you, it will gt better, it does get better, just hold on and get to the next day, then the next, then the next.

An appointment with your doctor is a good idea. There are medications to help you feel better until you can handle it on your own.

Counceling is also a good idea.

Depression is for but a moment, death is forever. Think about that.

We're here to listen, so tell us what's going on.

Yup a very slow and painful death, if you actually dies, You could just end up brain damaged. Either way not cool.

Honey, listen. I've been there. Done that. NOT a good idea. What will happen? Pain, excrutiating pain. Then you realize, "O crap, life is over" and you realize that taking your own life is the worst mistake.

Talk to us. We can help. See a counselor, they can help.

Sometimes life feels like it's worthless, like no matter how hard you climb you still grab the slippery rock and fall. Like no matter what you do, you're going to fail, and you don't know what to do. You see suicide as the best way out.

It isn't.

Let in the light sweetheart.

We are here to help

I know my other posts seemed sort of... cold. I'm not really like that. I'm just so frustrated, I guess. I just don't care about really... anything. I hate society, I hate myself. The only things I can think of to live for are small ridiculous things, like my favorite bands or playing my guitar. I find it strange that I don't care about anything else.

I'm seventeen.

And I've been holding on for about six years now. Nothing's gotten better. If I had some sort of proof that life got better I might not be considering this but not a single day goes by when I don't consider suicide. I just want to know what it feels like to not have to worry about this anymore.

We've all been there to some extent, where it feels like everything is going wrong, that it's easier just to give up. The thing is, the pain of life only lasts a short time, but the pain of death is forever.

I've been where you are too. I thought I'd always feel the way you probably feel right now. I pushed through it, talked to my parents, got the help I needed and today I have a wonderful husband, two beautiful kids, a good life, despite the problems I face I choose life.

I've seen people fight for their lives when death was looming. Both of my parents died of cancer, they fought with everything in them to live. You have that fight in you, you just have to find it or get someone to help you find it.

You're not alone but if you take the step your contemplating, there's no going back. It's not worth it. Truly it isn't.

Live. You have the choice, so many don't. Choose life.

And I bet it feels like nothing will get better right?

You play guitar? That's cool. I never learned. You could use that to get out your frustrations.

Here's your proof okay?

We care. And we want to help you care.

If you don't die, then you'll end up in the hospital for a long time. The first thing they'll do is make you drink charcoal, which I've heard tastes REALLY gross, so that you'll throw up. After that, if you're conscious, you'll be put in a room on suicide watch.

During suicide watch, you'll have someone sitting with you EVERY minute of the day. If you get up to pee, they'll follow you. When they finally let you shower, which will probably take several days before they trust you not to try to drown yourself, then the door will be left open and your sitter will stand or sit in the doorway while you shower. When friends and family come to visit, your sitter will be there listening to everything you're saying. The ONLY time your sitter won't be with you is when you have your mandatory meetings with a therapist.

During your sessions, be sure to expect a lot of personal questions. They'll want to know everything that led up to you taking the pills. They'll ask about your family history. If there's any history of depression or suicide in your family. They'll want to know about your home life, your friends, your family, your pets, and anyone else you're close to. They'll ask about your sleeping patterns, how often you eat, what you eat, how much you eat, if you throw up after you eat.

And you'll be asked those questions by more than one person. The nurse who admits you will ask you questions. A doctor will ask you questions while he examines you. The therapist will ask you questions. They may bring other people in to ask you questions.

If you happen to be admitted at night, which you probably will (most suicide attempts happen in the evening or night), then don't expect to get any sleep that night. There will be people coming in and out of your room all night asking you questions, taking your vitals, drawing blood, having you pee in a cup, and then there is your sitter sitting there all night watching you to make sure you don't try anything.

For the first several days, all your food will look more like baby food than anything else. You'll have to eat everything with a spoon, which will probably be plastic, and if they don't see the spoon when they pick up your tray, they'll search everywhere until they find it. Even when you get more solid food, you'll be lucky if you get a fork (have fun eating a pork chop with a plastic spoon).

It'll be several days before they let you wear anything but a hospital gown. Even once they do, you won't be allowed anything with strings or anything that could be sharpened. Any shoes or hoodies will have the strings removed before you can wear them.

And that's ignoring all the physical side effects of attempting suicide, and everything you'll have to deal with after you get out of the hospital, and how your friends and family will react.

Yeah I play when I need to forget about everything. It only helps temporarily, though.

And thanks everyone, for your answers.

Can you do me a favor pretty please?

I can try.

Start by finding one reason to smile each day. It doesn't matter what the reason is. At the end of the day, take out a journal, and write down why you smiled that day. Keep that journal with you. Whenever you feel down, read that journal.

In the beginning, it may be hard to think of one thing that made you smile. Eventually, though, you'll have so many reasons you smiled that day that you'll have to pick only a few to write down.

I know like it seems like life sucks right now, but honestly things change as you get older. Your priorities and out look on life changes.

If you are thinking about ending it, them maybe it might be helpful to talk to someone about it? I went through a crazy stage when I was around your age. I went to a therapist, and I went through a few before I found one I liked, but it ended up helping a lot. Maybe you need an outlet? Do you like to write, or interested in film making? I made a few films in my earlier 20's, I found it was a good way to cope with a lot of sadness and anger I was still feeling. They were nothing spectacular, but it was a lot of fun doing it. It was hard work and the feeling of self accomplishment was amazing on the self esteem.

This isn't unusual. Really it isn't, especially at your age.

Have you told your parents how you feel? Have you talked to your doctor? There is help, not only therapy but medication. It very well could be a chemical imbalance that's making you feel this way. That's what it was for me.

You owe it to yourself, to your loved ones, to seek out every available form of help. Talk to your parents, go to your doctor. Be proactive in finding the solution. There is one, I promise you. Death is not a solution, it is the ultimate slap in the face, not only to you but to the people that love you.

You owe it to yourself to get help. Promise me that you will. Okay?

We're all here to lend an ear, to help you through this, but in the end it's up to you and you alone. You have the power to change this.

I can think of many things in your future to look forward to. I have two of them right now, they're outside playing. I have one of them that I've been with for 20 years, married for 15. There's another one too, just look in the mirror and see what you have to look forward to. You! You may not see it now but I do, we all do. You are on this earth for a reason, whether you believe in God or not, you are here for a purpose. That purpose is not to take your own life. That life is a gift. Use it wisely.

Are you male or female? Is there something that's happened lately that's brought you down?

Raven, look around you, at all the people coming to post here, to help you. You are important. We know it, that's why we're here.

That's really cool that you made films. I've never even though of doing that. I used to write but I sort of lost interest in it =/

I'm female. And I don't really know why all of a sudden I'm feeling like this again. It comes and goes. I guess I'm just realizing that everyone has so much going for them and I'll probably always be stuck where I am. I don't have any interest in pursuing my old dreams of going to college or anything.

I used to write a lot.

What sort of things did you write?

If you ever get close to offing yourself, call this number:1-800-SUICIDE
*hug* they also are there to help

Stat doing something about what you don't like. You might be able to start with "Letters to the editor".

We're all friends here, sort of. We listen for free. You should not be afraid of us. Open up. We may be able to help.

What's something that bothers you a little bit and something that bothers you a lot?

YOu know what I used to loive writing. I lost interest in it too. When I would make films, I barely would use scripts. I would tell them what I wanted them to say. Good thing they were only shorts!

Do you have any close friends Raven?

Haha I've never been good at writing scripts. I had to write one once for a project and failed miserably.

Is there anything you want to talk about?

You know sometimes that's true. A lesson to maybe be a little kinder to people.

Do you feel overwhelmed with making decisions for your future? It's true you know, when you start liking stuff about you, it's easier for other people to like things about you! I know that sounds super corney, but it's true. Like people have said, we're here to listen.

I'm actually really nice to people. I don't think anyone would ever guess that I feel this way. I'm not anti-social or anything.

I do feel sort of overwhelmed. It's hard for me to like things about me, though.

If you knew how bad some people had life, you'd realize that being 'stuck' isn't always a bad thing. At least, if you're stuck, you're not going downhill.

Do you give them the chance?

I have a feeling you're very reserved around most people. Don't really let your emotions show. Don't really talk about yourself. Rarely share the bad things, and only talk about the things that don't really matter in the end. You probably spend more time at home, in your room, than out with friends.

If I'm right, then you're me at that age.

Now, once you feel even a little better, you need to flush those pills. Don't keep them around in case you 'need' them. Flush them so you won't be tempted.

As you watch them go down the drain, tell yourself that YOU are taking charge or your life from now on. That you're not going to let ANYONE make you feel like less than you are. That you're going to find one reason to live everyday. That you will, wherever possible, cut the people that make you feel bad about yourself, out of your life. That you will learn to love yourself. That you will tell someone who can help how you feel and ask for help.

Hey Raven, check the comments

Are you sure?

Raven, I can guarantee you that I will care no matter what. I've been through a lot in my life, because of that I've made it a mission of mine to help others. That's why I'm on this site.

I have a few requests, things that I'm hoping you'll agree to.

1. Go to your doctor, get checked, tell him/her what's going on.
2. Talk to your parents about this.
3. Continue to post to us about what you're doing and how you're doing.
4. Tomorrow I want you to go for a walk. Just 15 minutes. If you have a dog take him/her with you. Also bring a pad of paper and a pen. While you're walking write down 15 things that you see that brings you happiness. It can be anything, a blade of green grass (for me that would be great, all the grass is brown right now, some of it is still covered in snow), a bird, a cat, a person that smiles at you, a worm, anything. One per minute.

Will you do that for me?

Tomorrow, after your walk, post your list.

I'll tell you 5 things on my list that happened in the last 15 minutes.

1. My daughter just came inside, she was scared because of something her brother did. She needed a hug. Her hugs are the best, always make me smile.
2. AMHD. The people on this site never cease to amaze me. Stick around and find out, they are they best people I've never met.
3. I had some caramel corn. I love it. :)
4. My puppy got out of the yard and came back when I called him.
5. I met you and I have hope for you.

You're pretty much exactly right about what you said about me. Thanks for all the advice.

I meant a lesson, for me too!
