Yesterday, 3.10.2024, I posted a review on the website of a hospital that violated my human rights and jeopardized my life (to say the least).
In doing that, I relived that very traumatic experience. In that moment, I needed help. I could not sit with those painful feelings, and I did not have anyone to talk to about it and I needed mental health support and so I called 988.
It was a very good experience. Very therapeutic. I was on the phone with a mental health counselor for about 15 minutes and I felt very supported. She was nice, patient, and helpful. After the call, I felt relieved, calm, and encouraged.
I will definitely call 988 again if I experience a mental health crisis, or if I just need an outlet/someone to talk to about a stressful situation.
I encourage you to call or text 988 for the same reasons. And just know that you do not have to be suicidal to call 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
