I agree with farmergirl. If you feel that bad you should call. My T specifically told me that one reason she didn't want to email with me was because of my expectations and reactions if she didn't reply as soon as I wanted. She also told me that there are 2 reasons not to email when suicidal (1) because she might not respond right away and (2) her lawyer told her that it would make her liable if I killed myself after telling her via email. That is he policy No email.

So I think that email can be a great tool to let your T know how you are feeling but when it is bad it shouldn't be used.
