> **** But she also didn't say it was a bad idea. If she had strong feelings that it was a bad idea, trust me, she would have said that. She wants you to have ways to cope with your distress, and I imagine that anything she didn't think would be helpful, she would say so.

Yes, I think you're right. I've called the distress centre before, I don't think one need to be suicidal to call them.

> What if the Distress Centre calls the police on me? I don't want to get into trouble. I wouldn't want to be hauled off to the hospital for a mini OD. I can't go to the hospital without being really sick.

> **** Do you have to tell them where you live? If so, there are other hotlines that you can call where you don't have to, so there's no chance they'll call the police on you. But unless you are in absolute immanent danger I wouldn't think they would. Call them before you OD, if you ever feel like doing it again. If you call them after, it would be perfectly reasonable for them to call the police, as you are then a danger to yourself, even if you don't see it that way. But there are plenty of other places to call that wouldn't call the police. Try doing a Google search for crisis hotlines. There are lots.

No, it's anonymous. I'm pretty sure if I take a real OD I will take the bus to the hospital. Or if I'm too sick I'll call 911.

> **** I can see why you would be scared to go back. I hope you wouldn't OD again once you got there. They are more likely to let you leave if you don't, Deneb. Try telling someone there that you want to, if you're ever in that situation again and you find that you do want to. Then they can comfort you and give you some help. I hope you never feel like that again though.

I sort of was in that situation again. I gave my pills to the receptionist.

> > Thinking about ODing makes me sort of want to OD again. I have no idea why.

> **** ((((Deneb)))) Please don't OD. Now would be a perfect time to go tell your mom you're thinking about it (and no, you don't have to follow through if you say that), or to call your pdoc, or to call the distress center, or to find another hotline to call, or to call a good friend and just chat. All are equally good options, in my opinion. I know my T would think any of them were a good idea, if that helps you any.

It's OK. I'm really OK.

> **** You don't have to shut up Deneb. If people don't want to respond, they won't, and that's fine. But I'm responding now and I care. It's better to post about feeling like ODing and then not OD then to make yourself not post, and then get more upset.
