Crisis

what do you do when you are in a crisis i am very close to taking a whole bunch of stuff but i do not want to go back to the hospital. can anyone think of any other options, distraction is not working.

Can you call your p and get an extra appointment? Or any safe person? Before taking a bunch of stuff, tell yourself that you can still do it in one hour. Go for a walk instead. Manage minute by minute.

I agree with this. Last week I was feeling really bad and felt as if I was slipping into a dark place. I decided to call my t and pdoc on Friday and was in my pdocs office by Monday afternoon.

thanks i am trying really hard to take things minute by minute but i cant stop thinking about it and i dont know what to do i cant call anyone i have no one.

Why don't you want to go into hospital? They may be able to give you medicine to make this feeling go away.

i cant go back there it would be embarrassing and i honestly dont think anything can help anymore.

You need to see a doctor go as fast as you can, don't ruin it for yourself you have a long life ahead of you. think of what you would like to do later in your life.

I feel like I don't deserve anyone's effort like I am just a huge burden and waste of space and I should just go quietly. I want to cry but I can't for some reason. Everything is a mess.

Please call 911.

You are NOT a burden or any such thing. And not thinking anyone or anything can help anymore is exactly what depression would say. It is lying to you.

Do reach out. Keep reaching out. Take it a minute at the time.

What would tell a family member or friend if they were feeling as you right not ?

Please stay safe (((( hugs )))

I would tell them to call someone. I feel like I am just weak though and maybe my problems are not worth the bother like I really don't want to make a fuss around me. I am sorry to even be bothering you all on here.

It's not a bother to us. You should take your own advice and call someone. To those who are sitting at the call centers and waiting to help, it's not a bother. Your problems aren't too small, that's just a depressed mood talking.

Ok I have something I have to do this morning but after that I will try calling...... If I don't chicken out but I will try.
