I would feel self conscious going to the ER. I don't want to take up resources that could go to someone with a heart attack or something.
If I just walked in and asked them where to go I wonder what they'd do. Or if there was a place I could call.
I'm also scared they might forcefully admit me to somewhere or something, against my will. I think I once read on here someone had that happen to them and it only made matters worse. I don't need a straight jacket, I'm just terribly scared (albeit to the point where I'm cry and shaking) and need someone to talk to.
I'm going to wait until I email the professors. If they give me an overall positive response, that might help me a lot. Right now I'm at a manageable level of stress. Not like yesterday when I was seriously panicking. Just a little shaky today.
Thanks for replying Phillipa, you're a wonderful person. Everyone else here is too, even if you just read the thread and not replied. I'm crying a bit and I'm going to go to bed. I chatted with one of my friends and it helped a bit just a few minutes ago. Goodnite everyone.
