I've been going through a lot recently, and I worry (thanks anxiety) that I'm a burden to T1 and the community mental health place that I go to. The place I go to has a weekend walk in therapy sessions plus a crisis walk in place that I've used both a few times. They're all connected, so my T gets the notes/emails from the therapist I see and will follow up with me when I see him.
I went to the weekend one yesterday and talked to someone to get through until I see T1 on Thursday. Then found out that I have a funeral to attend to on Thursday at the same time, so I had to cancel my session.
I called once, and got rescheduled for 2 weeks out. I was freaking out about not seeing him for another 2 weeks, so I ended up calling back, explained the funeral thing, and requested to be seen for even a 30 minute one before the 7th. He has one this coming Monday. The receptionist asked if I think I'd need to talk to someone before Monday, and I said I would. She said she'd email my T and see if he could get me in before Monday or longer on Monday, or if there's a cancellation they'll call me.
It's been a long time since I've had to need extra support, or get upset over a cancelled session because I know I need it. I just don't want to be a bother.
