Ask for help - even your family doctor or crisis unit.

The last time I was in such a place my psychiatrist was unavailable. Knowing I was in trouble and with no where else to turn I did so to my family doctor. Thank goodness he immediately recognized the dire state I was in. It turned out to be a blessing. I am so grateful I sought help - and was determined to find it - that day.

But I did not wait for help to find me. I had to reach out to it.
