But you can send her a text just saying I want to come in on Wednesday. Please text back and let me know you will still see me.
I've done the moody angry pissed upset crazy making quit thing before and I had to text email that T and say i still want to come in if you will see me...
Whatever has you this tense and fighting seeing her...needs to be dealt with or it will just continue to upset you

I don't think I can do that. I don't think I can tell her I want to be there. I can't admit to that right now. I don't know if she will respond. I don't know if she even cares. Or if she is relieved I said I want to quit. A part of me doesn't even want to go back and is glad I quit. But I think that another part of me feels really desperate and afraid that I won't be able to go back, and is really upset and scared. And it is all leaving me really confused.

What's the most calming thing you know how to do? Can you try a marathon of that?
And do you do DBT? It's really helpful to me in situations like this.

I do not do DBT although I have always thought it might be helpful for me.
I don't calm myself really well. It's an ongoing struggle for me, and a lot of the methods my T has given me haven't worked very well. About the only thing I know works is progressive muscle relaxation, but it also makes me start crying and it takes a long time before I am able to calm down and stop crying.
