I don't know where you live, but we have in place here a Mobile Crisis Intervention Service. It is usually made up of a couple of nurses and a plainsclothes policeman trained in mental health. They will come to your home or meet you in a park or wherever you feel comfortable. They will try to talk you through the crisis, to help you find ways to deal. And if you decide you want to go to the hospital, they can shorten the admission requirements for you. They are VERY friendly and are not going to drag you off against your will. They even come in just a regular car.
You can probably find out about this program through the Suicide Prevention Line at the hospital, or even through Victim Services at the Police Department. In fact, Victim Services is a great resource for any type of help you may be looking for.
Take care and God bless,
Sandy
