You have time to think and to find the best help you can. Ask yourself an important question. Although we live in a culture that demands instant gratification and instant solutions, in actuality there is very little that must be acted on immediately. What most people consider a crisis is simply an overwhelming sense of panic, an intense reaction to a conflict or difficult situation. Human beings are remarkably resilient and tend to bounce back even when it feels as though they never will.
All cultures understand that upheaval can result in growth.
The Chinese symbol for crisis or obstacle is the same one that represents opportunity. This is a notion to which I adhere, as a psychotherapist and as a human being. Life or death situations such as serious illness, a bad accident, or a suicide attempt are crises that must be dealt with in the moment. Many events that feel like a crisis can be handled with time or may propel you to seek help. Again, I urge you to remember that these are not crises, they only feel that way.
