I woke up to my alarm going off. Thinking it was Saturday I thought I could sleep in today. Phone rings and messages are left. My ears are still ringing so can't hear much of what they say. I stumble around trying to drink water and milk plus a few crackers. I finally relax on another sofa next to the couch covered in vomit. In the afternoon, my roommate and his friend come home to ask what happened to the couch. I'm in a daze and explain my ears are blown so I couldn't hear him. He hollers out asking why my ears are blown. I explained I swallowed a bunch of aspirin. He asked how many and I said over 80 pills. He asked why I did that and I replied to kill myself. He is furious screaming at me how I am his best friend and why did I do that. He calls an ambulance. I can't get up so they help me get outside. Had my first ambulance ride. I can barely speak. They ask what I took and when. Then they ask why. They hook me up to a heart monitor and IVs. They have someone in my room all the time. They mostly play on their phone. After several hours, I'm getting hungry but they don't let me eat. They move me to the ICU and I spend my first night there. My roommate came by and I apologize for freaking him out. I don't want him to call my family. They will take it harder than he did. He gives me a hug and some clothes for when I get released. They check on me every four hours and draw blood from. I'm so numb and ears still ringing, I just lie still.
