Draw Up a Crisis Plan w Me
Hii everyone. Life is ideally fulfilling and manageable. Sometimes when life gets tough, overwhelming causing chronic anxiety which can turn into depression and even crises. Today, let's make a crisis plan because crises can happen unexpectedly so if there a plan to refer to, we might be able to sail through the crisis safe and smoothly.
Crisis template:
-Kind words to calm and console
-Suggested helpful actions to ease the pain
-Backup plan
(Calling crisis helplines, approaching a&e)
-Caveat of what's not recommended
-More kind words
(Disclaimer: this is not a sufficient substitute for medical help and only meant to only be helpful)
Hey thought it would be nice to share with you my crisis plan for reference:
I understand you are feeling unbearable okay? A part of you doesn’t want to *** that’s why you are here. I am glad you are here. Promise to be safe, lovely?🫂🤝🩷🩷
Now, let’s help relieve some of your pain okay?🩷 Move out of this space to go interact with others. 🌇🦋💐Take a nap or bathe? Skincare routine? Take a walk? Positive affirmations? You can’t stay in this place overthinking again. I know you well. It’s not healthy. Do something relaxing and makes you happy. 🤗Remind yourself of the good and fun things in life.
Skip if not
If you still feel unbearable, call trusted crisis helplines esp sos. Take sufficient breaks if you are still too overwhelmed.🤞
Last resort
If you show persistent inability to regulate at all or be rational, please give chance for someone to help you stay alive. Go to hospital ask to stay for a few days and they might recommend medicine and lots of therapy to stabilize you. Chances are you have an underlying mental condition. 🫶🫶
Last resort impt info
Don't go to psychiatric hospital unless you really have no choice because they have a hold on you and many nurses already suffer from caregiver fatigue and it's very strict there. Hold on even it's by a thread. Try to maintain your sanity you can cry but please don't scream or hit. People will start to treat you like a toddler and I believe it's very humiliating. 🤜
Please give yourself a bit of dignity while you seek help. I understand your immense suffering but you need to be treated as age appropriate as a teen/adult that must be respected while seeking for help. You need to try to maintain the peace in the hospital for others who need it. It's can get expensive but you might be able to get insurance. You need to understand it's an acute crisis so costs can go up. You have a life to live. At least hospital will keep you contained and safe with comfy treatment.
You cannot persistently show that you can't control yourself at all. I hope you allow yourself a chance to continue living a life. Things will get better. Don't give up. 🙆♀️🙋♀️💪
P.S.
Hopefully you will feel better soon. There’s light at the end of the tunnel, rainbow after the rain. 🩷
You need to fight to see another beautiful day. Fight to see sunlight, fight to see your loved ones. Fight to enjoy the beauty of food. Fight to do something you like more! 💋🧖♀️💅💆♀️💇♀️Your life hasn't ended yet. You are still alive! You need to celebrate that you are alive. 🏃♀️💁♀️You have to prove to society that you are strong to live! You will be respected. You will be an inspiration. You will be more powerful.😁🤗🤗🤗😌
