Crisis team were supposed to call, but they haven't

I went to see my gp this morning about suicidal thoughts and plans I've been having. Also, I seem to have symptoms of PTSD. She seemed pretty worried about the amount of thought that had gone into my planning and even talked about me being admitted into hospital. However, I said I didn't want that so she suggested the crisis team instead. I've got a couple of weeks until my next psych appointment, but gp said she was worried I wouldn't be here in 2 weeks. She said the crisis team would contact me today. But they haven't. Is this normal that it takes so long, when my GP seemed so concerned?

Sorry prn is medication not taken regularly but as required - often something like a sleeping tablet or a diazepam type tablet to help in crisis but not usually used.

Thanks for clearing that up silverstars. I take agomelatine which I find good for sleep and my psych did try to prescribe me diazepam but I said I'd rather not take it as I don't think anxiety is a massive problem for me. Not sure what else they could give me?
Imjustahead- thank you for your kind words.
