Having been through it I would tell you that thoughts of suicide and wanting to harm yourself is a crisis. Even if the thoughts are without a plan but is constant, it's a crisis in my opinion. It's better to have a T make themselves available or a friend to be with you. What sucks is someone calling the cops on you like a T or a friend and you wind up in the hospital where it may have been better had they been willing and available to be with you and talk.

Now my previous T called the cops on me, my new T will talk with me on the phone. I'm sure this new T would also make himself available but I hope to never be at that point ever again.
