I'm glad that your favorite support person did not want you to be hurting badly. And so, between yourselves, you came up with an inventive compromise. Also, I hope you can feel better in spirit and in body.
I hear what you're saying about not wanting to be scolded and about how there can be a lack of value in calling the crisis hotline.

It only works if I have a really strong connection with the person I'm writing to. And the connection I have with my big sister is the strongest connection I have. Plus, she personally understands what it's like to have PTSD. I'm glad my big sis understood that just having me write to her about the story I'm working on was too big of a change for me to handle. With my big sis, I can tell her anything...no matter what it is and I know she won't tell anyone in my family except for my cousin (her husband)....and he wouldn't tell anyone.
