I noticed that nowhere in your post did you put the words "attempted suicide". That's important. You DID attempt suicide. You need to acknowledge that. And your dr needs to know.
If nothing else, he needs to know that the meds you were taking (since you had that many on hand, I assume you were taking them) weren't working and you were down enuf to consider a drastic alternative.They can't help if they don't know help is necessary!
