I'm sorry for starting another new thread when I haven't had much time for responding to other threads around here this week.

I just really need some support and reassurance I guess. I had an incident of self harm this afternoon, and then I called my T and talked to her about it. One of the DBT "rules" is that after SI you can't talk to your T for 24 hrs, so she just talked to me long enough to make sure that I was ok and didn't need medical attention, and then she told me to call her at the same time tomorrow and reminded me of that rule.

So, intellectually I understand it, but emotionally I feel abandoned. I keep thinking that this is just her way of getting out of having to be my T any more, that when I do call her she's going to say something worse, that she can't work w/me anymore because of my SI or something else.

I can live with not calling her until tomorrow afternoon, I probably wouldn't have called her in that time anyway. It's all the thoughts and fears about how this is just the beginning of something big and bad that are freaking me OUT.
