Hey guys

Last september i was very depressed and tried to kill myself by a heroin overdose. I got three £10 baggies and injected them all. i fell asleep and woke up six hours later feeling very 'fucked up' and my lungs hurt really bad when i breathed and my right foot was paralysed and numb all over.

i was then in ICU for a week and got better.. but why did i get pneumonia from it? and what happened to me foot?

i dont know bout your lungs but the foot problem you are experiecing is maybe because you nodded out on it, thus stopping the circulation to that area. DO you still have troubler with your foot? and i hope your doing better, maybe you want to check out the dark side section of the forums, you can find alot of help and understanding blers on there. Wish you the best of luck.
 
Did you vomit at all that you can recall? One thing that comes to mind is perhaps aspirating a bit and that getting into your lungs.
A better guess would be your delicate emotional state that led you to attempting suicide may have made you become very ill.
Stress can take a toll on your health badly. It happened to me where I got strep throat from being very depressed and worn down.
