Yes, a hospital: ER visit can help. Your safety is more important than anything else. It is good that you now know that your Protected Health Information cannot be shared with anyone, even your family members, without your written consent. If you cannot get someone to take you to an ER, call +18002738255, the National Suicide Prevention Hotline as soon as possible.
