    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.

    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.

    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?

    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.

    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?

    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 =/
