I tried to OD on benadryl on thursday of last week. I got caught in the act and was thrown in a psychiatric ward by my doctor. Whats worse is that I need to cover the costs with money I dont have. I managed to get out by doing what I do to everyone else, as ive basically perfected my act of being fine. However this stupid mistake cast a lot of eyes on me and now its hard to do anything :/ Sucks man.

I'm not surprised. While it is possible to CTB on an overdose of Diphenhydramine, it's incredibly difficult to pull off. It wouldn't surprise me if you had to take 50g+ of Diphenhydramine for any decent chance of CTBing.

I once overdosed on Nytol. Even though it was no where near any kind of fatal dose, it was still a horrible experience. I puked over most of my bedroom and I deluded there was spiders everywhere. I can never recommend Diphenhydramine overdosing.

That sounds like a really horrible situation to be in, the thought of failing ctb scares me a lot. It disgusts me how suicidal people have to be punished for simply trying to die, psych wards sound like awful prisons which just cause people to suffer even more.

bendaryl (diphenhydramine [dph]) is not an easy drug to fatally od on. you'd have to take an absurd amount (ppl take several grams and survive, albeit with permanent damage) and its an extremely unpleasant experience at high doses. i would steer clear of that method in the future

That's so terrible. I think the doctors who throw people in mental prisons are truly deranged and only make the world a worse place. It only reflects on the tragic nature of life that their first response is to imprison people for responding rationally to pain rather than take a moment to understand. I would be very afraid of that happening and I would try to ensure my ctb attempt was final, although of course that's very difficult in this world. I hope that life improves for you.

I understand you, I had the same issue as you. My story was a bit hilarious but sad at the same time, I was preparing to hang myself, but suddenly my family noticed me at a window and I had to pretend that I was doing a magic trick 😑

this shows how fucking sick our system is. we try to leave the world because of the cruel things that have happened to us and then we get thrown in psych wards and then thrown further into debt. its so fucking sick
