My Therapist gave me a Hotline # If I was suicidal ( for after hours )...during office hours if I get in a mess he would call me back as soon as it was
possible .I have never had to call him I tend to get into messes after hours or weekends go figure LOL
But also gave me a "warmline" # also To call If I wasnt suicidal but just needed to talk with someone . ( head off a er visit/hospital trip )
I have in fact called the warmline 4 or 5 times since March. The people who are answering the line are either people with bipolar that can talk to you and listen . Or I have also talked to someone in college working towards her psych degree. They cant really give medical advice of course but it helps to at least have someone to talk to. I have found it sooooo helpful .
I think alot of times we just need someone to listen.. This site has helped me sooo much ..Ive had a few episodes where i just needed to rant or whine or cry my feelings out and then im able to cope better ..This site has amazing wonderful caring people who really can understand and you dont have to worry about being judged
Hope you get a more defined plan with your Pdoc and T ..
Maybe you can ask your T and Pdoc if your area has a " warmline" type service .
Very happy you were able to get yourself calmed down and your feeling safe ...
Be Kind to yourself
