Safety or Crisis Situations:
Safety always comes first! Any crisis situation takes absolutely
top priority. Crisis situations might include acute suicidal
thoughts, homicidal thoughts, acutely dangerous substance use,
other self-harming acts, or perhaps acute confusion and
psychotic symptoms. The safety of your life is the most crucial
consideration at this point. All the medication, psychotherapy,
or any other treatment, including this psycho-educational
content cannot help if you are not alive.
The best possible
treatment may be to completely abandon this information and
proceed immediately to the nearest emergency room or hospital.
Alternatively, there is a link available here to purchase a DVD that explains
emergency and crisis situations and what to do in the event you should experience one. Please proceed as you feel it is safe and appropriate.
