  • Yeah bro that’s what those lines are for. There’s no intangible threshold of how suicidal you must be to reach out for help. Really the sooner the better.

    Does it become unethical if the reality is you’re lonely and not suicidal so you’re calling to chat? …yeah but no. Not if that loneliness is keeping you off a ledge. That what it’s there for Holmes.

    And again no you’re not a bad person. You didn’t hurt them. They were concerned. And rightly so. You were having some kind of manic seeming episode. That’s not a stable place to be.

    You’re good. Stop beating yourself up. You got this.


  • You’re not a bad person.

    Is it embarrassing? Sure. So are farts.

    Sounds like your work homies had your back, were concerned, and generally acted the right way.

    It does sound like it’s possible your meds aren’t working out for you, though. This story is worth talking to your therapist or dbt group about. Do NOT take it from me; talk to a doctor.

    Does your boss know you’re in therapy? This incident is worth explaining to them that you’re aware you’re struggling and you are actively working on it. Apologize for causing a bit of stir and thank them for being prepared to act. Assure them you’re working on it, actively.

    To reiterate, you’re not a bad person. You’re gonna beat yourself up over this for a bit. That’s shame/embarrassment. It’s all good. We all feel that from time to time when we do things that are less socially accepted. It is normal. Your feelings are normal.
