First of all, I want to say hi to everyone I've been lurking for a while, and found you guys so insightful and wise on so many topics I finally took the step of joining today. I'll try to contribute where I can, where I feel I have something that might be relevant or helpful to say.

Secondly, the reason I'm posting this particular thread is because of a situation that has arisen in the last couple of days with my therapist. We've been working through some pretty intense stuff, and she keeps saying she's there for me and we can talk things through in between sessions. I've really started trusting her and she's been great at keeping her word and being there. However a couple of days ago I sent her an email and I haven't heard anything back. So yesterday I left a voicemail - again nothing yet. Normally she gets back to me after a voicemail within a couple of hours, so this is unusual. So then (and this is where I feel REALLY dumb now!) I sent a final message last night saying I was slightly worried and was everything okay.

I'm a little bit anxious now. I hate that I am but I am- because it seems out of character for her I'm worried in case something's happened to her. But what do I know? I haven't been seeing her that long (two months) so maybe this is how she rolls. Maybe she's not as reliable as I had started to think. Or maybe I have done something wrong and she's irritated. I just don't know, but none of those options are preferable really

I really cannot send another message, our next appointment is meant to be Monday- but am unsure what to do or what to think. Any thoughts? Am I being a drama queen?
