Well...
Wed, 2010-05-05 22:34 — autopsy_girlWhen my parents first saw my arms, they dragged me to the emergency room and I was almost sent to a psychiatric behavioral hospital, but the cop let me off. A few months after that I overdosed and blacked out, but never went to the hospital because nobody found me and I simply woke up later on. One of my last suicide attempts I overdosed and my parents found out and I was hospitalized for a day and then released. They don't seem to want me there for some reason. I used to see multiple counslers and therapists but none of them ever did squat for me.
Have You Ever Been Hospitalized For Your Self-Injury?

I got 2 overdoses of psychiatric medicine, received medical attention, but I only threw up and "got well".
I hide my SI acts, and only when they begin to heal I can continue "with my normal life", but I think they have never gone that far...
And any time I do it, I hope it would not be never an hospitalization.

When I was 15 I got picked up for underage consumption and they had to do a strip search and they saw like 30 fresh cuts in my wrist and flew me off to treatment the next day. About three weeks ago I decided to go for a vein and I had a field trip to the ER. They called someone from the mental health place to come talk to me and now I'm seeing a psychiatrist and counselor.
