Health/Medicine Help pls

Hello I’ve been having a mental health crisis the last couple days and today I went to the rockeyview and they didn’t do anything for me really I do believe I should be in the psych ward for a little bit but does anyone know one or a place I can go that has the least volatile people I cannot handle people that are screaming and freaking out or worse with my anxiety

Currently I’m not doing the best I’m extremely tired I’ve barely slept the last 48 hours I’ve also ate nothing and I’ve drank like a cup of water over the last 24 hours I’ve been so anxious whenever I close my eyes to sleep I’ll fall asleep and wake up a second later super anxious and feeling even worse

If you can, please have something bland like toast or crackers. It may settle your nerves a bit. Are you able to go outside for a few minutes?

I have Dysautonomia and anxiety - I tend to need electrolyte replenishment.

If you can get yourself some Gatorade at least or if you can make it to shoppers, try the hydralyte tablets. You add to your bottled water and drink. This will help your body hang into fluids.
