No cutting!! You will just feel worse and more ashamed and desperate afterwards. I don't know your entire story but it sounds like you are going through emotional turmoil and are waiting to get in to see a psychiatrist?

I have been there! And I know how it feels to not think you can go another day without getting some help. That's why you need to get on the phone with your primary care physician and tell him/her exactly that. If you can't get ahold of your dr., ask for the nurse. Convey your urgency and desperation, and ask what they can do for you! I have had to do the same thing, and they helped me out.

In the meantime, it's ok to let things slide for today. How about renting or going to a movie to take your mind off of things? Go by yourself if you have to - the important thing is to take it easy and reduce your stress level. Your chemicals are on overload, and that is making it hard to function. Not your fault!! I hereby give you permission to be a total slacker today or as long as you need to be until you are feeling able to deal with the world.

Please keep me posted and remember that cutting or any other self destructive behavoir is going to make you feel worse in the long run, not better.

Go to a 'walk-in' in the meantime. Or call a crisis line. You can even go to Emergency. Things may seem bad right now, but life is a series of peaks and valleys and you're in a valley. Hurting yourself accomplishes nothing more than aggravating your suffering. You have lots of options - you just need to reach out. There's no reason for you to feel badly about what your going through and you need someone properly trained to help you through this.

Your Dr. should have give you more than one option for your referral and the psychiatrist should have made alteranate arrangements at the time of cancellation. You need to be very clear w/ your health care providers that your situation is serious. There is help out there for you.

I need for you to call a crisis line right now. Even if the worst is past, please call.

Good luck, take care and REMEMBER there are many people that love you and care about you.

I have nothing more to add but I wanted you to know that I share in everyone else's sentiments. Hang in there. I know you're in a deep hole right now; I was in the same hole for many years. I hope you seek help in climbing out of that dark place.
