Specializes in Internal Medicine

Call/be with someone: Should be with someone u trust. And if u can't find someone to be with call them. If u don't want to talk to anyone u know, call the suicide crises hotline. They will talk u for hours and provide great support. Remember u ALWAYS have other choices.
