In the early hours of today, I asked for help and this is my experience:
NHS 111 Dr said I needed a Dr at home or an ambulance - he decided upon a doctor visit.
But 2nd Dr phoned, ordering an ambulance that arrives quickly.
Paramedic phones the 1st Dr and discusses how I am.

1st Dr speaks to me and says I need to be in a safe place and not alone. I explain my worry I won't be able to get home again to a remote area. Virtually no public transport that I cannot use anyway even if it were better. I have severe PTSD.
Assures me, I will be given a taxi.
Assures me, I will be given a taxi.
Are you sure? I really won't be able to cope if that doesn't happen. Are you sure I need to go? Dr: "Yes"
During the journey, I'm panicking about being able to get home, am constantly reassured by paramedic all will be ok. They will impress upon staff that I must have a taxi.

We usually do not ask for help because of 2 reasons:
a) Ego.
Believe it or not, in most cases our ego comes into the picture and we don't take the first step in asking for help. We often have thoughts like, "why should I ask for help?"

For once, leave aside the ego and see what might happen if you finally take the step and "ask".
Start seeing the up-side of things.
Great things will happen and you will thank yourself later. Believe me.
