I've been thinking about this a lot. Especially since my living situation is no longer safe for me. I had a facilitator very concerned today. Asking if I had a safety plan. Then she told me that my T has the crisis line. He's been on me about calling before. It scares me that they can say hey you need more help and you're in danger so go to the ER. Or having him call the cops to take me to a safe place. Then the conversation of if you didn't call and something happened, he would be angry at me. Crisis lines are there for a reason, but for most of us, it's a sign of needing so much help that some don't use. The other thing that scares me is having someone over hear and then call the cops because they do not know the situation.

I think the crisis line is safe, but the actions of others are unforeseen and that's what scares many of us.

Thanks all for your stories and influence.
