Default it doesnt make you feel better

when you overdose you never feel better depending on if you die or if you get taken to hospital or if you even dont get taken anywhere at all the next day you will feel so bad so ill that you wished you hadnt done it i dont understand how people can say it made me feel better.

i used to self harm yes it made me feel better but after awhile it all came back and i felt bad for doing bad about the problem still so why do we do it??????????????

yup when I harm myself, I always feel better at first, but worse later. probably people want the short, temporary good feelings that they get at first, because that is actually why I harm myself. To feel the good feeling for a short while feels so precious whenever I'm in my most depressed state.

I don't know anyone who has said that taking an overdose has made them feel better. I know that when I've overdosed it's made me feel a hell of a lot worse, both mentally and physically. I guess it's the same as with self harm .. it may be something that you feel you need at the time, and it might even help you temporarily, but in the end or the next day, things will catch up with you and chances are you'll feel worse

Hi Demi and all!

Yes i tend to agree with what pepple say here i think.

With me and od i guess it does give me temporary relief but for me with od thats not really what im after.Temporary relief with od has never been enough...............ive felt i need death too.

But its interesting cos cos for me cutting and overdosing have too different functions.For me i would never try to kill myself by cutting but i certainly would bby overdosing.Cutting has always been for self harm for me and somehow yes it does give me relief..........and punishment.

Yes i agree with what you say very much Demi.At times i have overdosed many times in the 'normal way#' [as opposed to taking hundreds of tablets a week as an ongoing attempt as im doing currently] and many times after those overdoses i have been sick,had significant other effects,been unconscious and thats not even to mention the emotional effects and what you have to deal with if others around you find out.

So yes not to be reccomended.Please try not to do it again.Please come and talk to us instead if you feel like lijke doing that.i know its hard but please stick with us Demi.

Take care adn best wishes for now
kath

It actually depends on people why they harm themselves. Some might get the temporary good feeling, some might not. Although it sure would be worse later, but from what I've experienced, I couldn't think of anything else but to get that temporary good feeling from harming myself, no matter how worse it can turn later on. That's depression I guess.. , but yes it really depends on people. Nevertheless, it's still not a good thing to do.

I'm never using overdosing as a method of self-harm again, unless I want to do something like give myself liver damage. Going to hospital and getting treated made me feel so much worse than I already was.
