Forum Overview :: Left 4 Dead :: I tried to kill myself once, not over Left 4 Dead tho

[quote name="Jerry Whorebach"]I was on kind of a lot of anti-depressants and anti-anxiety meds at the time (possibly still not enough?), and I heard that taking too many of them would kill you, so I that's what I did. I swallowed a month's supply of each and made my way down to the river. Once there, I kicked back, smoked some cubans, and waited to die. Now, in hindsight, it would be easy for you to say that I should have gone <i>into</i> the river to make sure, but I don't believe I was thinking too clearly at the time, so I just waited. And waited... and waited... Hours passed, and the sun started to come up, and not only was I not dead, I wasn't even <i>unconscious</i>. As you can imagine, I was pretty frustrated and perplexed. So I went down to my psychiatrist's office and asked him what the fuck was up with these shitty unregulated Canadian drugs he's been prescribing, that they don't EVEN work. That's when he explained that they totally would kill me as advertised, but they'd do it by causing my kidneys to shut down, which is a long and agonizing process and not at all what I signed up for. I told him they should probably put that on the warning label and he excused himself and called the paramedics. Long story short, I ended up spending a few days in hospital hooked up to a big bore IV needle, getting my kidneys flushed out. One of the nurses told me that everyone with an IV was supposed to wear an IV gown, but in my case, <i>they'd make an exception</i>. I could tell that was a crack about my bum but I kept my mouth shut because I really <i>do</i> look better in pants. That was a long time ago, though, like late September, and I figure that if there were any long-term effects they would've shown up by now. I guess that means I'm in the clear?[/quote]
