I don’t remember the emergency room at the psych ward very much. I took a bottle of Ativan. I woke up at the hospital the next day.

There was a lot of discussion about what to do with me. They didn’t want to admit inpatient because most of the treatment involves long stretches of sitting, and I physically cannot tolerate sitting because of my back. I have a spinal stimulator but it isn’t sufficient to overcome sitting.

So they took out the IV which left a massive bruise on my arm and sent me home because I promised I would not do it again.

Obviously they treated the overdose but I was not conscious for that.
