Hi all, 2 police turned up and an ambulance , physically I'm ok , overdose shouldn't of done Amy harm, recommended I go straight back to gp basised on what happened. Feel massively massively ashamed, many thanks for everyone's help Rob
Robster thank you having the guts and bottle to come back and tell us you're ok.Please do not feel ashamed. There is no need to be. Many of us know exactly what sends your mind into that state.
If nothing else, and even though this is only an internet forum, I hope you now realise that you were never alone in all this.
Get yourself to the doctor and explain *everything* that happened, and please keep us all up to date, either in this thread or another one. Many of us would be happy to speak to you on the phone (some people physically nearer to you in person) all you have to is message us. You must never allow yourself to get that bad again, we can help.

Robster - glad you're ok, and just to echo what has already been said - you've nothing to be ashamed of !!!Just to add - you have a huge group of friends in PH. Who for all their heavily built, Director type machismo - do care about your wellbeing
I didn't comment earlier as my sleuthing skills are terrible, I would make an awful stalker!
Firstly Rob glad you are ok, do not feel ashamed or embarrassed in the slightest, it took balls to reach out last night and to come on again to say you are okay.
I am hoping that you get the help you need, I think you are stronger than you think.
If you hit a low again please come on here or talk to one of the lads who sent you their numbers.
All the best, chin up.
Finally to the lads who helped out and took time out to get involved, well done, very easy to turn your back when a stranger needs help.
I wouldn't know how to go about it but you deserve recognition for this, you rallied round and all I can say is that if I could I would buy you all a pint, bravo

I should never of caused you guys and girls to worry , I apologise
We now know where you live so cut out the silliness (apologizing) 
You're not well mate and I think you recognize that, that's great, now you need to go get some proper help. Whatever you may have convinced yourself of, your family/friends would NOT have been better off without you...you may or may not believe this as you read it now, but if you don't then please please recognize that that's not a normal state of mind and help exists in so many forms.
Good luck fella. Thank goodness you posted on here.

Good to hear from you Rob you had us all worried there chap. Please look after yourself and try and take some steps to getting some help. There's absolutely no shame in it. Wish you all the best.
Glad you're still with us all in paradise Rob. Don't be ashamed, although it's a completely natural emotion to be feeling today, it's misplaced here ole chap. We're all just glad you're still around.
If you need some support this week I can pop over one day, apart from tomorrow. I imagine you've had plenty of offers of the same, so do take advantage if you need it. Don't feel like you're being a PITA. We'er all petrol heads here and just looking out for a pal who's having a rough time right now.

Pretty sure I'm not the only one who found it hard to sleep last night. Only caught up with the threat at half 12ish and hoped it would all be sorted in the early hours. Woke up a few times to check the thread with positive hopes.
Glad you are ok - I can't add much more than others have said but you would be suprised to hear just how common those feelings are. I've been there as have many people on here and lots I know personally.
We are faceless in a majority of cases and that can be hugely helpful if you need to vent! Get yourself to the GP, be honest. Brutally honest, don't be ashamed and let them know everything. They have the power to do far more than we can so use it all you can.

Robster- recognise this as a temporary stage you're going through. Tough though it may seem you need to get to a doctor and get sorted.
When it's over you'll look back and think wheat was all that about.
Eat properly
Sleep properly
Keep as active as possible - mind and body
Edit: I've only just seen this thread but it doesn't quite fit the groove, I'll get castigated probably but I've dealt with these situations before and never seen a pill by pill update.

Glad you got through last night Robster. That's one little battle you have won.
Life can certainly deal us some rotten hands and it's easy to get to the point of being unable to carry on. But it will all look so different in a year or two (there is a lot of evidence of people pulling through on these threads). It can be very difficult with relationships that have broken down, particularly when kids are involved. Look after yourself first of all - seek and heed help (Which you are), try to look after yourself and eat properly, get some air etc.
You have a lot of years ahead of you to rebuild relationships with the kids, build friendships, and do so many other cool things. It may seem a long way off at the moment, but a day at a time, little steps....

No need for apologies Rob, many of us in this thread have been to places similar. Very glad to hear you are ok, there are lots of people who care about you - both those in your life, and many you haven't met..
FWIW, to maybe give you some hope, I too have been to the dark place you were last night. I got as far as buying rope from B&Q and tying it to the bannister. Thankfully I was so pissed I fell asleep.
Subsequent counselling and meds have got me back on the straight and narrow, and feel I now have purpose in my life.
Hang in there buddy (no pun intended) and take any help offered!
