I'd think that would be certainly urgent! Course, I'm in the same boat of confusion about emergencies/urgent/ and boundaries.

It occurred to me this morning that I have no clue what an emergency is. I thought that if T had that kind of operator I would never speak with him outside of session-ever. What I mean is that I will never ask someone for help and say it's an emergency. It's not because of pride. I think it goes deeper. I think it's because I have become accustomed to relying on myself. It's not that I don't react--- So, for example, if someone in my family were sick I would simply call the ambulance. Done.
But if I have suicidal thoughts--I don't think it's an emergency. By the same token I don't get what urgent means. It's only urgent if a wrecking ball is aimed at your head--other than that, c'est la vie.

Yep - same - infact, I may really feel like it truly is an emergency for me... but i know no one else will unless, say my arm were disconnected from my body or i had *just* jumped off a bridge... then they might believe me. But other than that, no. I have called t twice now when I was having some scary body pain thing and was alone and didn't want to call 911. The first time she called me back in a few hours and by then, i could move and was semi ok. The second time, she had the dr assistant phone me *sigh*. Why hadn't i thought to call the dr?? Hello, brain..... I dunno. It's a weird life....
