Overdose Number 3

Yesterday I overdosed for the 3rd time in under a year and I don't know why. The aims of my previous attempts were very specific. The first was to get myself sectioned. The second was to die. This one was different though. I didn't want to take the pills. I didn't want to die. I just couldn't stop myself. I'd been having some suicidal thoughts over the past 3 weeks but not nearly as bad as before my other suicide attempts. In fact, I felt fine, until I went to the pharmacy to get my first batch of anti-depressants. And then, I started crying for some reason. After that, I started taking them all at once, along with some other stuff we had in our medicine cabinet. I just couldn't stop.

Does any one know if there is a name for this? Or can you shed some light and why I might have done it? Because I really don't know.
 
Its the very typical aspect of suicidal tendencies, being: a scream for help as you don't know how to ask or feel you won't be listened to when you ask. You don't want to die, but you know you need help.
