If you aren't able to help yourself by not drinking or cutting, you need to reach out to SOME t in the short run, even if it takes longer to find the right tt. Otherwise, you might end up in the hospital. You can probably only call your LC in this dangerous state so many times before she hospitalizes you. She is over her head here. She can't be your safety net several times a week, it's more than someone in her position can do.

She doesn't know about feeling suicidal. I haven't told her with good reason
