oh boy do I know those baby talk types. Its like they think if they talk like they would to a child you are not going to go off the wall during their time. Especially when they know I have DID. "Yes hello my dear and how are you tonight?" and "how old are you my dear?" I get this sometimes when I call a local hot line (vollunteers mainly answer the phones) and this one person answers who also helped out of that agencys support group one night when one of the regular facilitators was out. That woman needs to get a life OUTSIDE the realm of therapy because if she ever makes it to graduating and doing an actual internship with a therapy agency she better hope it isn't at my therapy office. The annoyed ones yup had a few of them too. One person actually told me to hurry it up and tell her what I needed because it was 3am. I told her I didn't care what time it was if she didn't have the patients to write out a phone number on her "call log in" paper and call the person I was asking to talk to then she was in the wrong business and I would be reporting her attitude to the supervisor. She apologized and put my call through to my counselor at that time and I let the counselor know what had happened because the counselor who I was with was also the one that did the crisis center training seminars. I don't mess around with people like that. I have learned to not give the person who picks up the after hours phone calls a chance to patrinize or be rude to me they say hello and I flat out say Im so and so, phone number, I need to speak to so and so and no its none of your business why just call this person and ask them if they will take my call or if I should call my back up named so and so also with this agency. I usually don't get a run around, a rude one or anyone patronizing me with this agency I am with.

I am glad that you have "Hilda". and yes sometimes it does feel like being abandoned. Hang in there. your therapist will be back soon.
