The on-call psychiatrist at the ER said “don’t try to make this my responsibility” when I literally went there to cry and beg for help while saying that I am actually afraid I’ll hurt myself or others.

I have both of these as recordings. They’re from the same day.
And that’s not even closest to the worst things I’ve seen / experienced
And this — people defaulting to “lol I won’t believe you” essentially when talking about this… it’s not great.
