My city has a crisis unit and I’m always hesitant to call their phone number, but it’s been helpful. They’re able to connect to my psychiatrist at times when I cannot to them. They decide on a case by case basis whether to send the crisis team and whether to take a client to the hospital. I don’t like needing them, but they do a good job.

It is said an Eastern monarch once charged his wise men to invent him a sentence, to be ever in view, and which should be true and appropriate in all times and situations. They presented him the words: "And this, too, shall pass away." How much it expresses! How chastening in the hour of pride! How consoling in the depths of affliction!
