Should I call the crisis hotline?
I feel very irritable, angry & depressed right now, & I feel like I’m going to lose my temper. I’m trying very hard to not allow myself to become weak enough to get mentally hospitalized. I’ve been having a headache & nausea & feeling tense & full of anxiety all day with my stomach feeling like it’s twisted in knots, & I can’t even eat. I’m about to cry.
I usually feel stupid calling the crisis hotline because my family shuns me for it & teases me about it, saying that all I’m doing is telling STRANGERS my personal business. Personally, I find the crisis hotline very helpful. If I talk out my problems, it helps me calm down & feel better. I don’t really have any friends to turn to but 1 friend. I’m really struggling with a lot if issues, & the other so-called friends think I’m just a drama queen who complains too much & wants sympathy & attention, when that’s not so.
Is there anything wrong with calling the crisis hotline or is it OK?
There is nothing wrong with calling the crisis hot-line. That is what there for. If it helps you calm down and feel better, then go for it. It is OK, and sometimes talking to complete strangers is easier then talking to people who know you. Your not going to get judged by the way you feel . Do not let your family get to you, it is none of their business right? Maybe if they were more understanding of your feelings you would not be struggling so much in the first place. call Hun, it helps you, and that is a very good thing.
