No, my T would prob not get into convo with me if I was drunktexting him. He might reply with stop drinking, go to sleep or whatever. That's what I imagine anyway, I don't text him cause I don't see the point and I don't get "drunk"- if I drink I don't get happy/sad/more open.. I feel nothing. If I drink excessively (like a half of vodka's bottle) my head starts to hurt but that's about it. |
I think that's why my T answered phone. She knows I don't drink and a previous attempt at getting intoxicated led me to having sui thoughts. I ended up sending her 25 texts that night. I guess she knew I needed that slight bit of support so that I would not spiral out of control

Hope you are feeling ok this morning  |
I think each relationship with a therapist is different. I do not drink. It goes against my philosophy of wanting to be and feel clear minded. My T knows this. She knows I'm facing some really tough issues and that I never cross these boundaries with her so she should have known how bad it was and did answer my phone call.

I'm not allowed to have any contact with her in 24hours following any SI behaviour... Not really a problem for me as I never contact her out of session anyway.

Again, my T knows the struggles I'm facing and has encouraged me to reach out when I'm sinking as I was Friday night. Just being allowed to text without expecting any replies was very helpful to me. It kept me from feeling more alone than I already felt.
