I unfortunately had a bad experience the other night, mixing my
meds on an empty stomach with a few drinks. It just hit me like
a ton of bricks. I called my therapist because we had planned for
me to do so earlier in the day. This was the same time I became
drugged. I began by telling him I felt like I was overdosing or something.
My husband was asleep in the other room. We talked for a short bit,
I really cant remember what he said other than that he needed to go
because he was involved in watching a movie.

Shortly after I discovered the next day, he sent an email saying he
cut me short and he was sorry he didn't give me more attention.
Well, isn't this being a little too laid back in his response.

If someone, a friend, patient, called me and said they thought they
might be overdoseing, I would feel compelled to act in some way.
Maybe not calling 911, but at least getting the person to call for
help to their husband. Or I would call the husband and try to wake
him saying your wife needs help. I dont know. Something!!

I mean, isn't this the responsibility of a psychologist to intervene if
someone is in danger of hurting themself or others? Even if I wasn't that bad off, should you take that risk and do nothing?

I emailed him that I was upset with him and that I thought I was more
important to him than a movie. I see him shortly, I'm sure he is going to
be mad at me for putting this responsibility on his shoulders, on his saturday night.
