Waiting for the Crisis Team

[Slinginbrew]

Sorry if this is the wrong place to post, it’s my first time.

Feeling totally dreadful and can’t see a way of carrying on. I’m waiting for the crisis team to give me a call back, has anyone got any stories of hope after feeling so low?

You matter and you are strong, to battle your own mind is the strongest thing you can ever do. Never forget that you matter.

You are important and you've reached for help which shows that you know that you can't go on this way and there is a desire for change. Don't underestimate just how huge a step you have taken and how much strength you have to do that.

Dp called crisis team a few years ago feeling a similar way, he left for a night shift but never went then caked me saying he couldn't carry on like this. Managed to get him home and they called him back that evening, before midnight I believe, just making contact with them got him through the night then gp started medication/referrals the next day.
It took time but he got there.
Feeling this way and sharing it is scary, people's reactions to it or the potential reactions can seem too much but professionals aren't afraid of the discussion which is really helpful.

I’ve been there. It can pass, and has for me. You’re doing the right thing seeking help- addressing how you feel is the hardest part. That and learning to not blame yourself for being in this situation. I tend to seek help too late, and that makes it harder, but I’ve rebuilt my life twice after feeling suicidal so it can be done. Give yourself time, and look after yourself. You will get through this.
