So far, so good. Initial triage nurse has been lovely and now waiting to see mental health team. Can't believe I'm here. Feel so ashamed, like a big freak. If only I was lovable enough that I had people in real life I wouldn't be here.

i was basing my response on the earlier statement that you couldn't go and so the suggestion was given to get an ambulance. you gave the answer that there was an ebola patient there and i was pointing out that it wasn't a real health risk. :: shrugs :: (and i have GAD and i can lay awake at night freaking out over things that are unlikely, i get it, but maybe it's just the mode of therapy i'm in, but i combat my anxiety by reciting the facts). and yes, it is an excuse, just not in the way you're thinking (you're taking the word negatively, all i meant was 'reason').
either way, you figured out how to get to one, so that's good. there's nothing to be ashamed of and being lovable has little to do with it. hopefully you can get the help you need to be safe. i suspect you are quite lovable and i'm sorry that life has gone in such a way to cause you to believe you aren't
