For the past three weeks I've been having a really hard time. I've been depressed and suicidal, with thoughts of this every day. I have a plan but no means and no timeline. I did have a timeline but the day passed and I never made a new one. I feel like things are going so bad for me and I've talked to a crisis counselor, upped medication, and used crisis phone/text lines (which I end up using nearly every day, which I feel bad about). I'm confused because I feel like I'm in crisis and I'm scared but I don't feel like anyone is really listening or cares. I know they hear this all the time and I know people have it the same or worse than me. I just sort of thought that when I asked for help, it would be easier to get and I wouldn't have to explain the issue so many times to different people. Like I said, I need to talk to someone every day to get through and not do anything harmful. But I don't have a therapy appointment until next week. Is it time to go to the hospital? Is it bad enough? Should I call and tell them my situation? Do psych wards have the equivalent of "nurses" who can assess you, possibly before you go in? I have also heard of respite care or receiving care where you can stay for free for 23 hours. Is something like that the right choice? I'm so at a loss and don't have a therapist to ask about this.
