Hi you help yourself because at the end of the day it's your life and your body. You are your own resonsibility and no one elses. Having said you should be receiving some help from the professionals. Perhaps the best way of dealing with this to get someone else to dole your meds out when you need them and take the control of them out of your hands. Do you have anyone who can do this for you? That way you won't have access to them so can't overdose. Do you think this would help you? x

in reply to kw41716

So there is no one who can give them out to you every day?

my mom does but i somehow get into the meds at night when nobody is awake and take more

Well tell her to hide them so you can't find them. If she keeps them in her bedroom under her pillow for example you wouldn't be able to get to them. x

if i knew myself i would risk getting caught just to have them

Well ask her to put them somewhere you would never find them. Where there is a will there is a way. x

Hiding the medicines are short term solutions. The real problem is you're taking more than you should, like sneaking more food, alcohol or drugs. You've got to discipline yourself about how much you take. The regulated dosages are what'll help you the most.
