Deneb,
yes, people in the hospital DO get mad when OD patients come in. First of all, it's a waste of life (your life). Second, they might have critical patients who need life-saving operations & help, people who didn't inflict pain on themselves. If they are taking care of OD patients, it takes time away from the cancer patients, accident victims, shooting victims, and other people who did not CHOOSE to get hurt.Of course, if you do OD, you should still go to the hospital!!! But your actions to impact others in a big way.
And it hurts your family too. They will wonder what they did wrong. They will feel like failures, like losers. They will worry about the negative stigma for your future, and for them too. They will always think it was their fault. They will never forget it.
And it affects YOU the most -- you could end up with severe kidney damage, liver damage, heart damage, or brain damage. Would you like to be retarded the rest of your life? I wouldn't. I sure wouldn't! But if you OD on drugs, you can really mess yourself up!
So when you OD, there are lots of people affected. It's a selfish thing to do, really.
So don't do it. Find another way to help yourself out, ok? You're a cool person and an interesting person, and drugs and OD's are not the right answer for you.
Talk to you T and get some other ideas. OK?
(((deneb))))I'm thinking of you fondly & hoping you don't hurt yourself!
