Ive had downright traumatizing experiences with help.

Possible trigger:

I dont remember what happened when I had tegretol toxicity, but when I came out of that blackout I was in the ER covered in bruises from restrains and police officers with my arse hanging out from them ripping the safety clothes to inject something into me.
I remember another time I was held at gunpoint because my girlfriend called 911 and they thought the pink paint that was all over my head and body was blood and that I had a knife (dont know why they thought that, I clearly didn’t). Yeah, I was manic, but did you really need to point a gun at me?

There are better ways of doing things than physically injuring or threatening someone who just needs help. I refuse to call the crisis line because they ALWAYS send the cops out. The first thing they ask is your address/where you are.
A different clinic in the state has this thing where you can call them and they’ll send a couple people to your house. I did that once, didn’t help, but, it didn’t hurt.
