Need help

[NetDog]

My BPD is pushing me to the brink! I have no after hours support from my psychologist, I don’t see my psychiatrist until April, it takes 5-10 days just to get into my GP, and there is no way I am going back to our local mental health facility! My psychologist recommended using this forum, but really it is like using a bandaid on a deep cut that needs stitching. I do feel like I would be better off if I died in my sleep, but have no plans or deep feelings of suicide.
