Thank Lar for the advice. I will discuss this with my family physician once she is back from vacation. Right now my plan is to call the local crisis line when I'm in crisis. I find that writing to the Samaritans via e-mail is not very helpful because of the long delay in response and because of the cookie-cutter responses they provide. As for going to the ER, well, I'm just going to hope that it won't come to that. Chances are that going to the hospital will be counter-productive in my case. My dysphoria is time-limited.

> I used to get episodic suicidal periods. Horrific,...Only when I was coming out of one could I ask for help.....it still mattered, but it wasn't a timely intervention.

I totally understand that! That is why is is almost impossible to "head to the ER" when one is truly suicidal. I think maybe practicing delay tactics might be more useful then...to prevent the act long enough to come out of it enough to actually get some help.

All the best to you as well
