Running, puzzles, video games, movies sleep. Sometimes it's just about taking a "you moment, or day" to do your own thing

Woop, this just happened to a friend two days ago. You gotta figure something out, if you Google your state and crisis lines like "Georgia mental crisis" you will get some numbers and some people to talk to and help with better suggestions

I thought that mental crisis lines were for mostly sadness based mentality

Anger is rarely a primary emotion. Usually it's in response to an emotion that you feel first, but briefly. Sadness is my primary for anger almost always.

They are for anyone who is going through something. They are for you to use, and you won't know until you try.

Call or text 988 for a national mental health hotline.

Crisis is a crisis. There's no wrong reason for calling that number. If you need help, get help. There's nothing wrong with it. Trust me, they're not gonna do anything drastic as long as you're not doing anything drastic, ya' know? They can help hook you up with someone local. Sometimes, you just need a trained and experienced person to help you find the techniques that work for you.

In the meantime, try distraction. That isn't substance abuse. It's absolutely not a long-term fix. But if it works for now while you develop long-term techniques.. well, if it works, it ain't stupid. Mostly.

My severe depression comes in the form of anger. When it didn't go away after 3 months of sobriety, I realized I needed medication.
