When I'm really struggling, I've called or texted a few times in utter distress, which is why I eventually asked or more frequent sessions. Instead of our once a week, we alternate once a week and twice a week. I used to call her more, but now I really try to handle things on my own. I want to show her and myself that I can do it. I only have a couple more months before I move away, so I'm trying to take more responsibility. Plus, I think my current balance of meds (finally!!!!) has really helped curb my anxiety, which gives me the chance to practice applying skills on my own.
