ok so long story short my mental health worker may be seeing me today for something unrelated to recent events and i just realised i cant actually cope with seeing him if he does show up like i actually cannot do this in any way shape or form i need help with a plan of what to say/do if he does show up because otherwise i am going to end up screaming at him and a whole bunch of other stuff i dont want to think about.

You should explain to him your expectations and what you think he is suppose to do. Also not to ignore your pleas for help. I'd write a list of that. Then punch him in the face. Ok maybe no punching.

I second boogiesmash's idea of writing a list of things.

If it were me, I would also draw him or write your thoughts about him, then crumple the paper and toss it into trash. This is my method of dealing with things - I once stopped an anxiety attack by doing that.

it is perfectly acceptable to be mad at him and go off on him, get hysterical with him if you need to light a fire under his arse.

My advice would be to clarify with him his role with you. Has he told you before that he cannot be available for emergencies/crises? Is he telling you this now? If so, you need to find an alternative, someone who can help you -a T, for example, who is willing to deal with crises in the moment. Once you start DBT, I think you'll be assigned a T you can call. I'm sorry this wasn't clarified earlier and you were under the impression that he was. There seems to have been some miscommunication somewhere along the way.

And since he can't help with crises, yes, I hope you go to the ER. That can at least help you in the now, help you get over this hump, while you wait for DBT, which could help you in the long run.
Thanks for this!

Hey thanks everyone. long story but he did show up with a colleague and i ended up asking to talk to the colleague alone about the situation and they have managed to find me a new mental health worker on the same team apparently but basically i have a new mental health worker so fingers crossed this one is better than the last.

Understood... there are far too many of those "people" around who are supposed to be "helpers" (irl)

Hopefully the new person will be an improvement

Have you had a chance to see the new MH worker?
