What to do? What to do?!
 
My therapist is out of town now and she is not taking her phone with her,
So I only have crisis numbers to call if I need help

And I need help

But I don't feel comfortable calling crisis
I don't want them to send an ambulance and bring me to the hospital
I'm not in that bad of crisis But if they don't know me they might think it's a crisis

I don't know what to do
I'm scared but I don't know who to talk to

What do you do in times like these?

Uh. Hell, if you need professional help, I would call a crisis number. If we think about it this way- Its better that they send an ambulance that you don't need, rather than you allow the situation to escalate until you do need one. But maybe if you can very calmly explain your situation, they can help you without taking you to the hospital.

Would I still have to pay for an ambulance I don't use?
I don't know. I haven't called crisis in a long time, I don't feel comfortable talking to someone over the phone that doesn't know my history and such like my therapist does
I can try it though if things get worse
I'm pretty scared I don't know if I can sort my thoughts to explain calmly what's going on

I have no idea.

Maybe you can look online to try and find another resource? But if you can't find anything else, you might be cornered into calling crisis, which does beat having no options at all.

Ibiza I could give it a go
I am willing to try things that will help

So what's the matter? Anxiety attack, or what? What's got you scared?

I've been through a lot of mental shit, and if I can help, I will.

It's the sounds.
The whispers that keep me awake, most of the night.
I actually got a couple of hours of sleep a little while ago.

I thin k I got three this morning.

I don't want to go into detail publicly.
They are mean, can't risk it.

That used to happen to me. It's a trick the Bogeyman plays to scare people. It's all just a trick and it's not real.

I fixed it when I made friends with the Bogeyman. All it takes to make friends with him is to know he's not really going to hurt you and that you don't have to be scared. When I found out he was just trying to scare me I laughed at him and he stopped. I made friends with him.

When he's your friend you never have to be scared of anything ever again.

All of the whisperers are just the Bogeyman playing tricks on you.

I'll tell you more about it later I have to go to bed now. It's 5:59 and I have to go to bed at 6.

7 Cups Of Tea is free and offers a real person to talk to.

Kory 07-05-2015 08:56 PM

Thanks for the suggestion, HIM

I'm doing much better now.
They're still there, but a lot less loud and distracting.

Hopefully I'll be alright tonight!

Thanks again, you guys.
Sorry this thread was a little weird.

I don't find this thread weird!
I rarely feel scared and panicky...but the depression can nearly get the best of me at times.
I find that if I write about what's bothering me, I start to see if from a different viewpoint and things don't seem so bad.
The BF had a family friend who heard voices....she kept the radio on all the time to drown them out.
My youngest daughter gets anxiety attacks that keep her from enjoying crowds....she really freaks out!...gets pale, starts shaking and heads for the nearest secluded corner!

I hope ya continue to feel better, Ava! [hug]!
