Revolver Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Just to let you all know, just got a phone call off Hannah in an ambulance. She has taken an overdose of her medication and is currently in hospital. I have been asked to post this by her, she didn't sound to good. Stupid lass. I understand it's not the first time she's tried to top herself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1a2bcio8 Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 As much as I like Hannah, it's pretty clear she has serious attention seeking behavior. Why does that even need to be mentioned or highlighted; particularly so if you like Hannah? And yeah, when people are suffering at intensity they can seek attention because it's an indirect way of trying to get support or human interest/feeling in their situation. Not much wrong with that when it's only a coping mechanism. Seeking attention when you're not suffering in that way isn't too healthy, I think, but that's not the case here.

Hannah Shucksmith Posted January 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 This was by no means "attention seeking behaviour". I took enough to put myself into a coma or to kill myself - it was actually a friend who phoned an ambulance for me. There's not much more I can say right now really. I've just got home from a 27hr observation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benthedog Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 I haven't been on here for ages and it's kind of a weird topic to first post on but anyway..... I don't know if it will help much, i'm just going by personal experience and it sounds like i didn' have it half as bad as some poeple here. it's going to sound like the worst advice ever but i found that once i noticed i had a problem, i was always upset and it really wasn't normal and then i told myself i was happy! i told myself i was happy every minute of the day, i thought about other people in the world. I know you always hear this; poor people in Africa, children working in sweatshops in China, but when you think about it, and think about the problems in your life, they just seem so small. Of course nobodys problems are smaller or bigger than anyone elses, even though i just said that....but i just found if i could use my brainas an advantage rather than it bringing me down! Oh and exercise! It helped me a lot too! Running especally! The most important thing though is to talk to people, talk to them about your problems and all the good thing in your life as well I hope that helped....as you can see i'm no psychiatrist (don't know if that's how it's spelt) but i've been through similiar things, although not on the same level... Anyway you can always talk to me if you like and Oh on a lighter note; you bought my bike Hannah! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikeperson45 Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 I've wondered once or twice whether I could be diagnosed with depression, but now I'm convinced it's not although I assume it's very different to each individual. I sort of take comfort in how meaningless things people get depressed about are, not saying that in a patronising way but that's just how I see it. I know some people have serious problems but people seem to get so wrapped up in their own depression by thinking about it they cut off the things that will help them. Hope things get sorted and you get better soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 People who want to end their lives don't fail. Hannah, you need to drop everything that you have going on in your life and get help. And I don't mean just seeing someone once a week I mean some serious help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benthedog Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 It's really great that you're trying to get help by going to the doctors I hope it helps you And that's not true that no one seems to listen these days, a lot of people do! You've just got to try and find the right people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1a2bcio8 Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 (edited) People who want to end their lives don't fail. Hannah, you need to drop everything that you have going on in your life and get help. And I don't mean just seeing someone once a week I mean some serious help. Actually, suicide is known to be a notoriously difficult thing to succeed at - look it up. Yes there are methods which will mean certain death, such as throwing yourself off something high, but just because you want to die doesn't mean all methods of achieving that are open to you. Survival instincts, against something like heights, still operate even if the conviction for wanting to die also exists. The human psyche is a complex entity and not just reducable to certain parts such as the desire to die. Ever felt very confident you could nail a trials line but despite that fact still experienced fear and not been able to do it? It's a similar scenario.

Matt Vandart Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 (edited) That comes as a shock Danny, you always seemed as happy as a blind lesbian in a fish market. Good to hear you're okay now though. If my friend hadn't have phoned an ambulance it is almost certain I'd be DEAD on a mortuary slab right now.

Some people listen, there's more ways to get their attention than yesterday's episode. As i've been saying daily for the past 3 weeks, go there and don't f**king leave until you're sat down with the highest person in the area getting some real help that doesn't come in a packet! Text me tomorrow, let me know how it goes I am doing nothing other than trying to help Hannah, believe. Errr...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Quinn Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 How did your friend know what you'd done? Mate whether anyone agrees with that you're saying or not, I don't think now would really be the time, especially in the way you're going about it. Playing with fire man, leave that to the people close to her and people who actually give a shit rather than those just trying to prove a point. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 I know it may seem harsh, but the sooner she realizes the reason she's doing these things the better for her well being. I just don't get it, attempting suicide seems like an every day occurring theses day. Keep an eye on her for 27 hours and she's good to go back to posting on TF like nothing happened. I'm doing no harm if I'm spouting bullshit, but can only be doing some good if I'm right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm doing no harm if I'm spouting bullshit, but can only be doing some good if I'm right. Um, what about Hannah's feelings at this point in time? As somewhat suggested below I doubt your motives are altruistic. If they were you probably would have taken a moment to think about how your actions might make Hannah feel the day after she made an attempt on her life and then maybe you might have been quiet. I definitely support the idea of taking a hard long look at yourself, especially with regard to all this, but there are better ways of and times for doing it.

Hannah Shucksmith Posted January 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 I act on impulse a lot of the time and I was on MSN the time I overdosed. I said a few final goodbyes to those I consider to be 'closest' to me and the person I'd spent the day with subsequently phoned me an ambulance. I have little recollection of the following few hours following from the overdose - I don't remember dialling Simon's number, I don't remember making my way into the back of the ambulance or anything else for about the next 3 hours. My sister told me a few people had messaged her on Facebook which is how I came to figure that something had been posted on Trials-Forum and thus returned to post to say I'd been discharged. I'm not going to argue with anyone over here; it's quite clear we all have very different opinions on the mindset of those who attempt suicide or have a psychological disorder, which is understandable. I started this topic with the intention of having someone to talk to who could relate to how I feel - I now have a handful of people in connection with this topic that understand my emotions and provide me with a caring presence when I appear to need it most.

Willy Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 Heavy to be rank on the girl the day after she's tried to top herself dude. Trying to help or not bro going so full on straight away is not going to help anyone! If you ever get the chance Han seriously consider going on a Camp America trip or go volunteering in another country (I can help with Canada, Oz, India, Mexico and Bolivia!), getting yourself out of the situation can sometimes be helped by removing yourself from the environment that you fell into your current mental state. Travelling brought me back to life in ways I cant even begin to explain and I have some very good friends I met abroad that left home for the same reasons and had similar outcomes. I'd be more than happy to talk about it if you ever want to, just as a warning I'm not very great with words so can be quite useless in the making people feel better department. Best of luck with clearing your mind. Will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusevelt Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 Nowadays whenever i hear, or experience random sh*t in my head, i just get proactive to counteract the effects becoming more pronounced and annoying. Crazy Frog ringtone use to really drive me up the wall from all the months of tv advertisements, Radio, and people's phones ringing. Even the dude behind the success of that Crazy Frog ringtone hated it despite the fact he made alot of money from that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpson Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 Says the compulsive lier.... At the end of the day Hannah has some serious issues which need to be dealt with by people close to her and professionals. Trying to share her issues on a internet forum is going to do the total opposite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
