Jitter-bug, you are very lucky they didn't see it as a suicide attempt. I did something similar to this in High School and they did a psychiatric evaluation on me and tests and said I had a chemical imbalance in my brain because of too much of a chemical called "Dopemine." Ever since then I have been in therapy and on medications and I hate drugs, even the legal kind, with a passion. Jitter-bug, I'm not trying to be preachy but I think, through my experience, this is a warning for you not to try taking pills like that anymore because believe me it is serious. If you have problems, and I know depression goes deeper than just sad, you still have to talk to people about it and if you can find some common ground with your parents, they may actually be the best ones to help because they were there for most of your life. Please, I'm not trying to tell you what to do, I just don't want to see you or anyone else in the Psychiatrist-medidication mess that I'm in. It's horrific. You can make it Jitter-bug. I know.
Love ya,
Moonchild
