A crisis is any situation where you or another person have become emotionally overwhelmed to the point where you may be considering self-harm or suicide. A crisis can happen to anyone at any time of the day or night, for any reason. It is not a sign of weakness; rather, it's a sign that someone has been trying to remain strong for far too long.
If you or someone you know is dealing with intense difficulty, please reach out to one of the crisis lines above. If you call 911 for emergency services, tell the operator that it is a mental health crisis. In many areas they will send a social worker or another emergency responder who is trained to help with mental health crises.
If you are placed in an inpatient facility, be sure to tell the staff and physicians about all of the the medications you are taking, whether it's for your mental or physical health. Give them the entire list: prescriptions, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and/or herbal supplements. Be honest if you are using illegal substances. (You will not be reported to the police, as this would violate doctor-patient confidentiality and privilege.) If you can, name someone you trust as a patient advocate who can talk with your healthcare providers about your medications, diet, allergies, or anything else that will affect your treatment.
While you are inpatient, do your best to work with the healthcare providers and staff. Don't be afraid to advocate for your rights as a patient. Above all, be kind to yourself and do what you need to do to get better.
