My friend messaged me saying they took 4000mg of aspirin, 3000mg paracetamol, 1000mg ibuprofen and 26mg diazepam. I'm trying to talk to them about it and tell them to go to the doctors. Are they at any serious risk? What kind of symptoms could this lead to? Please help.

    Hi vickylou...thank you so very much for your post.....

    Things have been very up and down for quite a long time....

    I am struggling with my drinking at the moment....after so many years of being well...not everyday .....but too often. !!!!

    I still worry constantly about the future of my three sons when we are gone.....we own the house....but the thought of the one who goes last is unbearable....we have a daughter.....who sadly does not care about them......( all three have mental health problems )

    At one point I am ashamed to admit.......I seriously thought about murder suicide....I know you cannot change the future...but I also hope that I die before my husband......

    Sorry this is a bit of a miserable post.......but very many...many thanks for your post lovely lady........big warm hugs......keep well...xxxxxxx
