Having outside contact is important to me and I agree with others that I'd have a hard time with rigid boundaries that restricted contact solely to scheduling. T says I can text or email but I use only email, typically once or twice a month, and she responds within 24 hours (usually within hours). When she had been traveling she has reached out to see how I am doing. Usually her emails are short and to the point which suits me.

Emailing helps me when I start to become unstable.
