i overdosed yesterday. if i tell my therapist, will she have to tell anyone else (GP, etc.)? will she have to do anything about it? she knows about my previous overdoses but they were all before i started seeing my therapist. also i live in the UK and i'm over 18. i don't want to tell her if she has to tell anyone.

what you tell your therapist is confidential, unless what you tell her suggests your a risk to yourself or to another person.
it may be a good idea, depending on what you took, to see someone though. how are you feeling now? do you want to talk about why you took it?

thank you. i'm feeling ok now. just a bit weird and tired. i was going to take more but i just feel asleep because of the medications.
i can't really talk about why i took the overdose.
thanks again.
