My T allows outside contact. There was a long period of time where not receiving a response in a short period of time or receiving a response that didn't sound just so would cause distress and grief. I have noticed over the last 3 months or more, this has shifted. Sometimes her response time is minutes, sometimes more than 8 hours. Even when I have been looking for it, I am not in distress that it hasn't come in. At the moment, I have faith and belief that one will be coming and that she'll be doing her best to address my concerns. It is an interesting place to be having gone through the more intense periods.
