Discussion Who do you talk too when in crisis?

Who do you talk to when in crisis?

I have a few great friends that I can talk to when in crisis, but choose not too. For their own sanity, not mine. I lost my sanity a long time ago. I struggle to cope with what goes on in my own head, and how it makes me feel. How could I then stress someone else, with the torment that is my life?
Nothing works. Can't be open and honest. The help-lines omg what a pile of vomit! Mental health services, well.... my nana always said "if you haven't got anything nice to say, then remain silent." Fighting this urge.

I talk to myself. sometimes the wife. I talk to myself until i get so angry and hateful at myself that I start smashing my fists into my head.

The Sanctuary, can talk to someone over the phone or if your really feeling shit they will send a taxi to pick you up, take you to them, chat face to face then send you home via taxi paid for.

i feel you, and just as Xerxes said, i imagine myself talking to others who I feel attached to and it really helps me through.

I'm really glad that you have had good experiences with the sanctuary. Unfortunately, I haven't. Last and only time I phoned them, I was told that because my problem was medication related, they couldn't even speak to me over the phone. But if I was just having a "bad day" then I would have been invited down for face to face. They asked me if I had a mental health diagnosis, which I do. That was when I got the response above. Shameful behaviour.

Thats proper shitty of them, regardless of what is causing the problem there is a problem that means you should be just as entitled to get help as the next person. Ive only been diagnosed with an adjustment disorder so not on medication. I was walked over to the sactuary when i went to A&E, the ward i was on wouldnt accept me back due to drug use and they are keeping myself and a woman who was readmitted on Monday away from each other. Basically she has developed a crush on me and because shes straight and im lesbian they asked her if id forced her into a relationship when we were both on the ward when infact she kept harrassing me even touching me up, she goes around saying im her girlfriend. They accused me of giving her drugs when it was her who was giving it to me. So yeah the sanctuary was the only place i could go that night otherwise id have come home and used the nitrogen before police could take it.

I do need to be sectioned just so i can reset my mind in a safe place, im not safe out here so when my SN comes im 100% not afraid to CTB anymore

I have no one to talk to. I used to have a therapist but even she dumped me. People never stick around in my life. I seem to have a curse on me to be lonely forever.

I had this happen with a therapist too. I was out of her league, in her own words. I was literally sent on my way with a pat on the back and a lollipop from the front desk. It would almost be hysterical if it weren't so criminally insane.

In any case, I don't really have moments of crisis anymore. I just seem to go between blah and extra blah.

 

[Norest4thewicked]

No one really. Used to have someone that I could speak candidly too. They've gone now. I can't be fully honest with my therapist as they'd put me back in hospital. I can't speak to family, it would freak them out if they really knew. The same reason with friends. They all get an abridged version

I generally just suffer in silence, though back in August I contacted my oldest brother who happens to be a mental health professional.
I've seen a few mental health professionals over the years and some seemed in more need of help than me.

Aw man, I thought I was the only one

I used to talk to someone who was a close acquaintance about things, but given that he is pro-life and stuff, I've since just maintained my silence. I figured that the more I talk about it, the more angry and upset I've become. This is because he will never accept me for who I am nor agree with my point of view and he believes that life is always better. He is also the type to try to impose his will on others because he believes he is right and is very religious.

Nowadays I just keep to myself and sanctioned suicide com is my place of sanctuary as I'm able to talk openly about suicide and what not without judgment or threats of being locked up against my will.
