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.

Thank goodness for that @The-red-centaur
Please know that I feel your pain and anxiety about what happened today and I will be here tonight for while if you want to chat, hell I don't really do small talk but I can try. I hope this doesn't come across sounding condescending but I am proud of you for getting help and going to your friends as a safety Measure. Nikki (alter/protector)
