TW: OVERDOSE
Dear mom and dad,
I wish you knew what really happened that day at school, I didn't just had a stomach bug.
It all started at the start of 2022, I had no friends, no actually, I had friends, but they never understood me. I was feeling miserable EVERY SINGLE DAY. I hated myself so much and didn't have the motivation to go to the school and to my classes. Not only that, but I was never good to talk about my feelings and stuff like that.
When I used to feel bad instead of having to explain it to people, I just start to say things like I have a headache, or even I am nauseous. It just started to be kind of a habit. Every time I was depressed or sad, I always said that.
One day I even start to take Tylenol when I felt mentally ill even if it wouldn't do anything. At some point, I was taking like 3 Tylenol a day just because it felt like it was helping me, even if it didn't.
One morning, I will always remember that day, I was starting with a math exam. That day I felt empty, everything was going wrong. When I finished answering the questions, I ask my teacher to go take a Tylenol, she said yes. I went to my locker and took a Tylenol, but I felt like nothing happened, so I decided to take one more, and another, etc. I finally took around thirty of them. I was feeling so much better. For once, I finally had control over myself and my nausea stopped, my headache stopped and my discomfort finally stopped. I felt so good. I went back to my class and continue my day like nothing happen.
There is not a graceful end to that story. After that, I threw up all the evening and all the night. So no, it was not a tummy hurts, but I didn't have the courage to tell you.
I wish you knew everything I went through and that you could have helped me the way you always helped my sister with everything she had to face.
Love u,
from your other daughter
