I know what you mean. I've been through it when I experimented with self-injury in my late teens. It was humiliating. Self-injury was the only way they would listen, because the PD diagnosis prevented them from listening and taking me seriously. I felt very conflicted and horrible about having to reach out that way. At the time it was the only thing that seemed to get their attention.
Going to the ED is not an option for me. I don't reach out, and won't go near there for psychiatric reasons at all.

I'm terrified of the ER. I had to spend close to 3 hours with that doctor stitching me one night and had to get the nurse to give me my purse to take an ativan. You can feel judged even silently. I do wonder if our ERs in Canada are worse for this though.
