I just don't want to be an alarmist, and I have told them before I have had them.....so at what point are you concerned? Sometimes I wonder, is it when the barrell is in your mouth....I don't know How many times do they have to hear this? I mean.... I don't want to be someone that is always crying wolf...so....at what point do you say, I am really needing help here?

Thoughts
Thank you

Thoughts???
my treatment providers and I have a "contract". it boils down to I tell them right away and they work with me on getting to the bottom of it. If I dont tell them right away and it comes to light, the agency policy of referring to the ER for mandatory 72 hour inpatient stay kicks in. so I tell them right away. my therapist says she would rather deal with it as it comes up rather than open her morning newspaper and see my name in the obituaries.
Thanks for this!
