How do I tell someone in not ok.
I tell lifeline and the cops were here at 3am. I tell crisis team when they start shift they say what do you expect and there's nothing we can do. I'm too scared to tell my friends because they get scared I'll do x again.
So I'm saying it here. I'm not ok. I'm really not ok. I'm far from ok and I don't know what to do about it.

Hey there @The-red-centaur it is really important you talk to your team about how you're feeling. I can hear there's quite a bit of pain in your post. It is really important you reach out to an appropriate support such as SCBS on 1300 659 467, you deserve that one to one help if you need.

Hey @The-red-centaur,
It sounds extremely difficult waiting for your psych team in the emergency department (I hope I have understood the situation). We're sitting with you, what's going to help you manage this distress while you wait?
And as Nashy said please contact SCBS webchat or phone on 1300 659 467 if you don't feel safe.
