I know this post is a few months old, but I called a crisis line twice. I did feel guilty for calling. The first time it was very helpful, and she even called me the next day to follow up on how I was feeling which made me feel a lot better. The second time I felt rushed and there was no follow up but it was also right before Christmas so maybe that played a part. A third time the crisis team was involved because my primary doctor called them. They wanted me to go to the hospital, but when I didn't want to because I had to pick up my kids in a couple of hours, they came to my house which was seemed really above and beyond for me.

i am grateful it is there and sometimes I feel like I want that kind of support much more often than I actually reach out for it. But a little voice in my head tells me not to call because someone else might need it more and I don't want to become a bother to them more than I've already been. But I still wonder if it would be okay if I used it more. I don't really know.
