It sounds lame, but exercise (and controlling stress the best one can) has really helped me the most.
Here's the cautionary part. I don't remember if I posted in this thread the night my sister died, I know I posted in the 'what makes you happy' thread about some BC cherries I bought that day, one hour before the police came to our door. Ironic. :/ I have posted in this thread before.
Anyway, my sister died from a cough syrup overdose. It wasn't a suicide attempt, it looks like it was just a desire to knock herself out after a really stressful day. She lost her job that day. She had no alcohol in her system and no other drugs.
Be very careful with stuff like that.

I'm very sorry to hear that Daradon. As someone who struggles with this myself, do you mind if I ask how much she took? In order to OD on cough Syrup, I would assume you would need to take a ton (well over the recommended dose)
