This reminds me of a few times I've visited the crisis center in my area needing to get into the hospital and was given a very hard time because I didn't SEEM like I was having a crisis...Like hello I wouldn't be here if I didn't need help it's not like I enjoy coming here. So now when I have to go there I really let them have it with my craziness instead of being polite or whatever. That's what they want to see apparently. You have to really let the crazy show to even get any help at all. Your word is not enough. It would be good if mental health professionals understood how good we are at hiding our problems and to not assume we do not need help if we are not presenting in the way they think we should.
