What legal consequences are there in different countries for a failed attempt?

For me

1. Tylenol overdose
2. Vomited for a few days, was like I had the flu
3. Wasn't caught, though I did raise suspicions with my roommates

The method used: Drinking an entire cup of mouth wash
What happened during and after: It tasted bleh like weird juice kinda mediciney it's hard to remember the exact taste now.
Any physical, emotional, or legal consequences: No consequences didn't even get sick.

For context I was pretty young when I did it, it's a Kid's berry flavoured mouth wash. I thought because it said something about calling poison control on it that I could kill myself with it if I drank enough. it's just a memorable suicide attempt.

1: Zoloft/sertraline overdose
2: was in ICU for a couple days with serotonin syndrome
3: I swear I could feel the NG tube in my nose for months every time I thought about ctb'ing afterwards. Was inpatient for about a week. I was 13 at the time and hadn't put much thought into it.

I've also attempted hanging a few times, but without many consequences. At least that I know of, I could have some brain damage but ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯
