I do not have after hours phone access to my T. I don't believe he checks his voicemails at night. He checks the next day (or the day after that). Once I was not in a good way and sent a rather desperate email to my lawyer. She was disturbed and called my T and he called me right away (it was at night). It had never occurred to me to call him since he doesn't listen to his messages for a day or two or three. Practically his first words to me on the phone were, "why didn't you call me?" I do not get that at all. Why would I call him if he won't even get the message for a day or two?

I do have email access to him and I send him short messages from time to time. He does respond to those on evenings and weekends.

puckyjan, I'm sorry you're feeling without the support you need right now. That sounds really hard that you got put on hold at the Crisis Line. What does your T suggest for these times?
