It does feel terrible to know that when you are truly in crisis, the interventions that are likely to be used will make things even worse.
I have also been told that in case of an emergency, I'm just to dial 911 and go from there--something I would never do. If I can barely discuss suicidal ideation with my therapist whom I've known for years, how would I possibly discuss it with a stranger?
I do wish my therapist would give me her number (of course I've never asked), though I understand that to do so could lead to a potentially draining situation for her. Though in the past, when my therapists have given me their numbers, I never actually called. Just knowing I had it was comforting.
