A couple of days ago I tried to take my own life. I got very drunk and slashed my wrists; I had been feeling suicidal for a while, so it wasn't just an out-of-the-blue occurrence. I was so drunk though, that I couldn't properly hold on to the razor and shortly afterwards I passed out with blood all over my clothes.

However, in my drunken state, I did not realise that I had called my friend that night and told them what I was going to do.

I woke up the next day and saw loads of missed calls and finally remembered what I did, so I immediately called back. My friend picked up and was in tears because they thought I was dead and they had called round all the hospitals looking for me for about 12 hours. I know that I should never have put them in that position and I feel really guilty about it and haven't slept since - what if this scars them for life?

Sorry about this post, just needed to vent.
