Well typically when a person is in crisis, they are talked to by a Doctor, maybe a Pdoc or a ER Doctor. Usually they take blood work, they usually want to make sure your not on street drugs or your current meds aren’t toxic for some reason, hey it can happen.

My IP is 110 miles away.. but they do an intake , it’s simple questions to be honest. How are you feeling? When did it get worse ? Are any of your meds helpful? Have you told someone you want to die? What’s your plan ? Admitting to feeling suicidal is hard, but verbally saying it outloud to someone who can get you the help you need right away is freeing in a way. Every time I have gone , I’m so unbelievably tense , my shoulders are scrunched up into my ears. But admitting I need help and right now, a weight is lifted , my shoulders drop. Just knowing you can just give up, allow someone to hold your hand, get you to wherever physically you need to be ... your not alone anymore. You are surrounded with people whose sole purpose is to help you emotionally , mentally , physically and truly know you are no longer alone.

That’s where you can catch a breath and get much needed help sooner rather than later.

If you broke your arm would you wait til later in the week to get it looked at ?? No of course not, you would go now.

Invest in yourself, reach out for help.
