Here are some helpful tips when you're in crisis:
 Call a hotline number.
Call a friend after you've called a hotline number.
Call more hotline numbers if the first one didn't work out.
Use the coping skills you've learned in therapy.
Make a list of things that you'd like to discuss with your therapist, a new therapist, an IP doctor/staff, a hotline person, etc.
Make a list of the *solutions* you'd like to see in yourself, such as a reduction of depression, a reduction of the pain you are in, a reduction of the emotional storms you are feeling, a reduction of the SI or SH thoughts/plans/actions/attempts that you've contemplated, and any other problem areas you'd like to see changed through help from other professionals.
Read articles (from a Google search or PsychCentral search or PC Forums search).
Get advice from us here on the PC forums, and pick the one that works best for you.
Hang on, even if it takes one second at a time, because there are people who do care about you.
