> If i was in crisis, in danger of hurting myself or someone else, I would not have a second thought to call. We're not just looking for attention; we are looking for help to face another day. My T got mad at me the first time I saw her and told her I'd been in a very bad way since the last appointment. Often it's my p-doc who gets mad and tells me to call my T. They are all looking out for us, thank heaven.
>Well, I'm not holding a can of poison in my hand. But then I'm *never* actually on the brink of doing anything, even though the thoughts may be swirling around in my head. So does that count then? There's no need for me to go to a hospital. But I feel miserable and I feel immature for not bucking up and handling it a little more stoically. When I'm having a bad mood, I'm not always sure when my needs take precedence over her need for private time. If I'm having a really bad reaction to a drug, it's more straightforward and I pick up the phone in an instant. Of course this downturn could be related to a change in meds. I don't know. I'll shut up now.
