And now I'm taking anti depressants and a sedative to help me sleep. Only problem is this sedative is meant to take me out or whatever, however, I'm now on day 4 of this sedative and each time I've taken it, I've just hallucinated and stayed awake for the next couple of hours generally tripping balls and feeling shit, and worst of all it makes all my limbs feel heavy and I struggle to move easily, so end up just lying in bed tripping out...

Suggestions on how to continue?

You said this medication is a sedative..is it Ambien? That medication can cause the effects you've mentioned. There are millions of people who are being treated for depression. You're not alone. Informing the doctor of the side effects is a priority. You do not have to feel like this. If you can't talk to someone close to you about the things you're going through, then try writing. Anything, draw, take a walk (not when you've already taken the sedative though), listen to some good music. Just keep on keeping on. No matter what.

Hi SrgColman,

First, call emergency services if you need to get to a hospital.

Please, SrgColman, talk with your doctor or psychiatrist. Mention that you attempted suicide. Tell them everything you told us. Even if they're not open yet, they still want to hear from you. Most places have an emergency line or home line they can be reached at. If yours doesn't, go to a hospital emergency room. They should help you.

As much as it might not seem like it now, people care about you. Even most of the people on this forum, who have likely never met you in person, care about you. Once you've talked with your doctor or psychiatrist in person today, as today goes by, keep yourself busy doing anything other than being alone. Talk with people (in person, if at all possible). Talk with anyone you meet. Take care.

It's an obvious attention whoring, so why should I feel compassionate?

If you're suicidal you seek help, not attention. On the other way, if you're going to such lengths to be noticed, that you're trying to kill yourself, then by all means go ahead.

More like I despise people who PRETEND to kill themselves to get attention. It's not a joking matter.

Want to be recognized? Glue a rubber dick to your forehead, it will give you plenty recognition. But if you're retarded to the point of pretending of committing suicide - go ahead, world won't miss you.

You know how it went, you jackass? He just disappeared one night without telling anyone, and they found his body next day.

I hope nobody from your family of circle of friends does that, because it hurts.

What the fuck makes you think he's pretending? In fact, acting the way you are is fucking dangerous. It won't affect someone who is pretending, but to someone who's depressed and has suicidal tendencies having people like you shout "lol, do eet!" might will fucking make them do it. It's this kind of fucktardery that gets real people killed and it would be at least partly on your hands, whether you're man enough to admit that or not.

If it's not a joking manner to you, then shut up and just leave this thread. Your posts are making yourself look like a halfwit and are not helping anyone, at all, especially not the people who need it. I know it hurts to lose someone, and to see people fake shit like that. But never assume it's fake. Or maybe you'll find one day that you were part of the problem, and someone else's friend died. With suicide threats, you never, ever assume they're fake, because the chance that you're wrong is too much to gamble with.

Do you really think this is the right place to talk about your suicide? Really? I mean, as if just attempting suicide wasn't proof enough of poor judgement...

Besides, if you feel the need to announce your failed suicide attempt to the world it's pretty obvious it's all a cry for attention to begin with.

Aargh, don't dismiss SrgColman's feelings. It doesn't matter where SrgColman chooses to seek advice. This is a serious matter that should deserve the same attention whether it's said in person or written on the sidewalk in chalk. If you can't find yourself showing a little empathy for SrgColman's situation, don't even post.

SrgColman, please ignore the trolls, and talk with your doctor or psychiatrist today. Mention that you attempted suicide, and tell them your situation. I am not a doctor, but the medication side effects can likely be fixed. If, for some reason, you cannot get in to see them today, go to the nearest emergency room. People want to help you.

You say that like a cry for attention is a bad thing? Humans are social animals, most of us need varying levels of 'attention' in the form of interaction and acceptance from our fellow humans in order to maintain a healthy mental and emotional state. A 'cry for attention' just points at that need not being met, for one reason or another. With the advent of the Internet, it has enabled people to cast a wider net when seeking companionship and acceptance.

You can see from here people who don't even know you care about if you kill youself. Life is worth living whatever you're going through right now will pass. A quote from a good P.O.W interview thing I went to was "Never never never give up". They were kept in P.O.W. camp for 6+ years they never gave up neither should you. Hope you talk to someone to get some help. People care about you =).

I've tried to suicide twice now. Both times, I've felt hopeless, think that the world would be better off without me, or that it would prove a point if I died. And both times, I had a long talk from my parents that really helped me out.

You really need to go talk to someone. And by someone, I mean, your family members or adults you know. This is definitely not the place you can consult. True, some people can help console you, but really, there are professional suicide hotlines that are free to call.

My suggestion would be that you pick some of the people with the nicer responses here, especially ones who've been there, and try to friend them on Steam and chat with them. That way you'll be able to talk about your situation more freely and without any trolls around.

Try smoking pot for a little with close friends, and see if it doesn't completely change your perception of what's important in life. It made me a happier person, it might do the same for you. Better than taking prescribed drugs that are doing shit all for you.

I was suicidal when i was 4~12 (i have dysthimia) i maybe have a few days that i am super negative but not suicidal.
Im 18 now i'm okay, i don't think this is compareable but just think about ppl like me who can have a happy life ^^.
(i've gone trough enough shit in my life) i refused to take anti-depressia pills from my doctor when i was 15.
Also because of the dysthimia it would be bad for me to use medecine/drugs because of the dopamine my body isn't making
and i pretty much compensate it with "gaming and food"
stuff like chicken (KFC aww yeah) has alot of stuff in it wich wil trigger the dopamine generating.
And winning in an online match feels good and gives your brain a boost.
just like with sports (wich would be even better).

Keep it up BRO your not alone.

Suggestions? If you are suicidal type don't talk about it on the Internet and don't expect others to help you through it. The thing you should do is go back to your doctor or find a new one if this one seems to be incompetent. Talk to your parents/friends/psychiatrist.

Have to second this one, check with another doctor. It would amaze(and possibly horrify) a lot of people to know how often doctors misdiagnose or just prescribe the wrong medication to people. This seems especially common with the ones for mental conditions, I know multiple people that have had it happen in recent years.
Also, yes, if you stay awake on strong sleeping pills you will have the strong reactions you described.

Just to echo all the good advice already here, please, get some real professional help. The Internet is no place for the real support you need to get through this. If what the doctor gave you is making you feel worse, you need to tell them, ASAP. People react differently to these kinds of medications, but the doctor won't know that you're reacting badly to this one if you don't tell them. They can prescribe something else.

That being said, what has helped me has been medication + cognitive behavioural therapy + meditation. Talk to a psychologist/psychiatrist, they're professionals at dealing with this kind of thing. Get support from people close to you, friends, family. Don't be afraid to tell them, or ashamed of what's happened. You're not alone.

Hold the line.

Everyone's reaction to certain medications are different, I know someone that went through 10+ different types of antidepressants until she found the right one. But when you fail at suicide, you are looking for attention. when you post this on a gaming forum, you are looking for attention. I sure hope you recieved that. No antidepressant will help with that. I'm sorry, but I mean this in the nicest way from experience. You need to talk to someone that is not on the internet, in a forum where people either believe this is fake, or will be extremely mean about it and beat around the bush. This is not the place for this, you need to go see your doctor and switch medicines, and talk to some people to work things out. Sorry, hope the best for you.

My personal experience showed the pills only delayed dealing with life...
Focus on what you're good at, set some goals (achievable ones) and really go for them... You'll find yourself concentrated in something you like... Not thinking all the thime in whatever made you feel bad, and will be doing something nice for yourself while rregaining the confidence for all the rest...
The pills may take you trough it, while you can't decide on your own, but finding somethin to fight for, and win, have to come from yourself.

I'm actually really shocked. (also pleased) with the amount of support around here. When i saw this thread, i thought "trolling? hidden giveaway? or flaming thread), and to see such positive responcees to this. it's inspiring!

Steam Gifts is now officially, the #1 forum in the land

Also OP dude, chin up buddy, i know it wouldn't seem like it now, but things can and will get much better. Sometimes a low can lead to something much greater. just keep your eyes open, and your feet moving forward.

Other than that, i would just be parrying all that has previously been said.

  1. Go see your doctor.
  2. While playing video games can help, 262 hours in two weeks (I really hope a great amount of this time was not spent actively playing...) is way too much and you absolutely have to reduce this!
  3. Find something (not games) to get back into life. Sports, being outside and socialising are always a good idea, especially combined.
  4. Sort your life fucking life out, mate!
  5. Don't play Secret of the Magic Crystal.
  6. Almost forgot: Don't kill yourself. Period.
