You were just feeling bad and reached out to those who are supposed to help you. If they can't answer the calls themselves, they're supposed to have something in place to help you.
Sometimes when I'm not feeling well, or if I'm mad at myself, I think that everyone else must feel the same way about me. I do that often with my therapist. If I'm mad at myself or embarassed, I think he must be mad at me or laughing at me. And we've gotten to the point where he can talk to me about it, and I listen.
I can't tell you the number of times I've left messages I've later regretted and wished I could take back. It can't be done, so there's no point in regretting it. It was a reflection of how you felt at the time, and is therefore important information to them. Don't worry about it.
And Sienna, if you enjoy reading Oddipus's self love posts, go ahead and make a few yourself. You might find that you can make yourself smile. :)
