I think they should have an automated message to say "distract yourself". Save them time answering the phone.

That's pretty much what they say all the time to me anyway. Sometimes they don't even ask why your feeling like 'this' or why your having these thoughts? And just an automatic response "distract yourself". This is what pisses me off. People assume that you can distract yourself when you are feeling like this, but seriously your concentration and motivation have gone off the rails, so you can't distract yourself.

Anyway that's how i feel anyway..about the crisis team.
