I just realized that they suck. The person on the other hand is entering the conversation with a fundamental difference in being pro-life. It was quite painful but after enough bad interactions I just stopped. Doesn't matter how much it hurts, calling them won't help. I don't know if they can actually section you, but I would not be surprised if they could, regardless of what they say.
It would be nicer if we had pro-choice hotlines. Honestly I think these might be more effective even from a pro-life POV. More people willing to call in if they know they won't get sectioned and will have someone willing to actually listen instead of delivering some canned pro-life spiel. Also realizing that some people really just need to leave would be huge, but of course the world sucks.
In terms of tangible advice, I just end up sucking it up. I cry and sleep until the pain fades enough to go back to "normal." It sucks, would not recommend but there aren't a ton of options. One thing you could try (if it is an option) is talking to a friend. I will just say that you should be careful for a few reasons. One, try to make sure this person won't rat you out, and two don't overburden them. This is how you ruin a friendship (I should know).
But mostly, I cry and sleep and eventually it fades (until next time). Sometimes I can distract myself with TV or book, but it's hit or miss. It sucks. I wish things were better, but this is how it is. This whole post sounds kind of awful, so I'll end it on a different note. I hope you find peace, whatever that looks like for you (bus ticket or recovery).
