For the first time since I started therapy 5 months ago, I am feeling low. Not just low, extremely low. As in hopeless. As in I've been fighting back tears all day, sometimes unsuccessfully, and now all I wanna do tonight is cry myself to sleep and not even eat the ice cream I bought on the way home from work. I don't know what happened with the EMDR we did last night, but it obviously stirred up something that's not going away. I really can't believe how utterly miserable I feel.

So how do I know when to reach out to T for help? I've never contacted T before for anything other than scheduling issues. But if I don't feel better by tomorrow, I just may call T - my next session is by phone because I'm out of town next week, and I really don't know how I'm going to function for the next week if I keep feeling this way. I just hate being needy, but I don't know what else to do. I keep envisioning my safe place, and it helps as long as I'm 'there', but I can't be 'there' 24/7, unfortunately!
