Get help immediately by calling 911.
Life is like a wave, it is never constant and it is ever changing. The good in that is that no matter what your situation is right now, it too shell change in some way and hopefully some of the changes will improve how you feel about what is taking place in your life at the moment. No matter how much we would like to, we sometimes can not choose our circumstances and the situations we find ourselves in. We can only choose how we respond.
I also did not realize this when I was younger, and I learned the hardway as well. Most of our worries come from our intense pre-occupation with what was and what will be, try to focus on the "right now", just this very moment. Take it moment at a time, try to let go of all the past and forget worring about the future too much. Meditation can do wonders in this aspect.
If you truly manage to foucs on just this moment ( it takes practice to do this) there will be much less you have to worry about. Life consists of a wave of everchanging moments (some good some not so good), learn how to move from one moment to another just moment at a time, the moment you are just in is the only one that matters and it shell change soon.

We are all very happy to hear that you are OK. Thank you for checking back in and letting us all know.
Are you considering sharing your situation with someone locally where you live ? Whatever it is that is causing you to not want to go on during certain moments of your life... whatever takes you to that point, no matter what it is, you would probably feel better if you could discuss it and not have to handle it all on your own.
Think of it this way, if someday someone asked you to carry a very heavy 200 pound back pack up a big hill, the only way you could do it is to have someone help you. You are a person and you deserve to be treated as a person. The benefit of being a person is that you can communicate with others and others will help. Sometimes strangers we never expected can help. You do not have to carry on all by yourself. There is someone out there who is ready to help you, reach out and see for yourself.

I am so very glad none of the pills are working for you. When I was young I took a bottle of aspirin and was on the floor throwing up blood - which was very painful by the way - and I survived. It wasn't too long before I was happy I survived. If not school there must be someone you feel a connection with, a friend or relative, someone. I know it sounds funny but even a pet. You need to talk and you need someone to listen. Please feel free to post here but also try to get contact with someone in person. I remember being 15 - it's a hard job! Even harder if you feel alone. We are a caring bunch here, as you probably can tell. Talk to us! And please approach someone in your life, even if it's not to tell the whole story - sometimes making a connection is all it takes. You are not alone!

Faith,
You are crying out for help when you do something like this! Call for help, tell someone who can help you right away. It's been almost a day now, I hope you got help because you need to talk to a specialist about what made you do this to yourself. You will be missed by people who love you. If you cannot tell your parents tell someone you are comfortable with. So that person can bring you to get help. o.k. Keep us posted on your condition o.k.?
Can you tell us if you are ok Faith?
Take care,

I agree with other d.com members punishment can be harsh but I have a 15 yr old daughter and I would be concerned and would demand medical ATTN immediately taking your own life or damaging your organs is a far cry from being reprimanded you are surely not the only young Adult out there facing very serious issues... not only but what were you specifically taking them for?? Go to an er..blaze22

Your parents are going to find out, and it may be from the undertaker. You need medical attention. That was a really dumb thing to do, you know that don't you. With any luck you'll vomit it all up, but don't count on luck.

Faith, I understand you don't want your parents to find out. But honestly honey, you need to get to an emergency room quickly. I know you don't want anyone to be mad or upset, but right now we need to get you medical care. Your parents will be concerned and will want to help you. Please don't delay any longer.
