I know I don't read post tbh, mainly lurk. Apologies if its in the wrong section too. Just need a little advice.

Me, main issue as I see it is depression and SI, being seeing my T for the past year for help with it.

My T's always said that if i'm struggling then to contact him, usually I don't, I try and ride it out but just this time in particular i've tried everything to get away from this feeling and its got no better. I'm currently not seeing my T due to being away atm, haven't done for a few weeks and I won't be most likely til July, I was doing well and I don't know what happened from Fri onwards, it just went downhill and now its affecting me daily.

Is it worth trying to contact my T tomorrow?

I know the obvious answer would be yes. My real question is as a result of even contacting my T tomorrow? What can he even do?

Like I don't wanna cause a bother/waste his time along with having a slightly awkward conversation..which kinda wouldn't help, but my point is I just don't see the point of contacting him but at the same time i'm struggling..

Any replies would be appreciated and apologies in advance for any incoherency.

Does it matter if you have some awkward conversation? You're having a hard time and you're T is the one you have to call. Unless you've got others in a support network, that's your next step.

You're worth the call, so do what you need to in order to get some help.

Hello, Janoski_SB! Did you contact your T? How did the conversation go?

Yes, I think it's very worthwhile to contact your therapist when you're feeling this way (unless your therapist doesn't help you to feel better - in that case you may need a different therapist - been there! Ha ha). But I fall into the same thought patterns - like, almost exactly the same - and a self-help book or a 12 step meeting or the input of someone I love or trust can really put my head on straight, and amazingly quickly. I try not to rely on humans too much -books really help me, or sometimes i'll go to a meeting and not say a word - just listen and duck out at the end, but I know I need SOMETHING to snap me out of my thought patterns on a frustratingly regular basis, or they can spiral into MUCH negativity. Let us know how you got thru!
