I haven't called my T in a long time precisely because I hate the waiting period. He always responds by the end of the day but it's excruciating, sitting there staring at the phone - especially if you're really in crisis. I hope your T calls soon. In the meantime, maybe try to find a distraction, as others have suggested. Sometimes I resort to napping, which may not be the 'healthiest' way to cope - but it works. Another trick I use is to call someone else, usually the most talkative person I know, and talk to her for a long time. That way I don't feel so alone *and* the time passes quickly.
