Only when you feel extremely suicidal, and are inches away from carrying out your plan?

or

When you feel like you could possibly be a danger to yourself, but probably will be okay?

or

Whenever you can't contain your emotions, and just need someone to talk to?

I am currently dealing with a mixed episode, and it's pretty bad at times. You all know how I felt last night... It got to the point where I bit myself () because I was willing to try anything that might make me feel better.

I don't see my new pdoc for 2 more weeks, and I don't have anyone in my life who I can talk to about my issues. I almost called my university's crisis line last night, but I stopped because I wasn't acutely suicidal. I didn't want them to think I was just taking up their time, or worse, take time away from someone who needed the help more. Thanks.
