Email Vs Calls Vs Text...

US health care stinks, but sometimes, like this, I'm thankful for the opportunity to freely choose providers.
I hear you. I am nervous to email thinking I will say too much. I would like to be able to call in the instance I really feel suicidal or on the edge. The crisis line is tough because the one I would call is a VA line and its hard to really tell them much. Any line would be hard to be truthful to. I think if I called my therapist after hours it would show how desperate I really was and needed help at that moment.

The times I have tried to kill myself have been when I have had nobody to reach out to. 5 times I probably could have talked to someone, but I talked to myself in my head and that's not a good place to be. It ended in the intensive care department and then into a psychiatric ward. I wish there were a different way.
