Crisis Management for Peers

I am in no way trying to discourage anyone from seeking crisis help but from my view the crisis lines are very badly mismanaged especially in the United States. If you have to call Crisis Line be mindful that they are only trained to hospitalize you to protect yourself from yourself. The suicide question I believe is about not being able to bear pain at the moment. Do not act on your impulses be still and realize there is a deeper issue going on. We need to be able to address the issues that are driving us towards suicide. We don't want to die.
