I am 23 years old, have Bipolar disorder (hereditary, my father has it), anxiety/panic disorder, depression/suicidal thoughts. I can’t work, been out of work for a year and half. I am trying to get on disability. The day before yesterday, I overdosed on my Xanax, 0.5mg. I took 24 pills total to try to kill myself. I went to the hospital, they didn’t pump my stomach, but they did run an I.V. with a lot of fluid (not sure what kind it was). I woke up, and my husband said I was unconscious for 11 hours. I was then baker acted for approximately a day and a half, and I am now home.

Has anyone experienced this or is going through mental illness like I am? I would just like to know if I am not alone in this. Thank you in advance for your answers.
I also want to say that this was the first time I ever took pills in excess like this. I used to cut myself as a teenager, when I was 16. I feel grateful for my life right now, that I survived this.
