I am considering it because I just can't function. I can't make any decisions on what to do about getting a new doc. I sleep and cry all day and night. about 3 weeks now. The crisis center where I am at, is in a bad part of town. I don't want to go there. I don't want to start going to DBSA meetings right now. I don't even want to get out of bed, much less, leave the house and interact. I am not suicidal although I wish I would just die. I am afraid of what will happen if I do go to the er. Will They take me seriously? Every doc I have ever seen always assumes I'm ok if I answer no to suicidal. What if they do take me seriously enough that they want to admit me to the psyc ward? That sounds scary too. I have had relatives there and it wasn't scary when it was them, but for me, scary. I am on disability and have insurance , also have BC/BS insurance through husbands job. I know I'm covered for an er. visit. Don't know past that. I can't afford a hospital stay out of pocket. Just don't know what to do. Anybody have a clue?
