i usually have the option of emailing or texting my t, even if it's just to see if she's really there. she told me she has a crazy busy weekend this weekend and probably won't be able to respond until sunday night. i'm kind of freaking out. it's like she's not there. i need to know that she's there! this is soooo hard.

((((bpd)))) Can you maybe do something with art or a poem to show T how strong these emotions are in this NOW? That way you are connecting in a way... and it will allow you to express all of this.

I understand how you feel. I wish I could email my T every day, just to be sure she's "there." But I know that she cares about me, and that if I need her, she would be available. Sunday night is almost here. How are you doing now?

I second what WeePow said. Perhaps you could write about how your feel right now and send it to your T? I have done this when I've been in despair and it has helped me get through the intense moment (I didn't always send it to my T but it did help when I was in the moment).
Hope this wave of intense emotions soon passes by. ((bpd))

I know how good it feels to get the response from T that is just what you need in the moment. I'm glad you got that, bpd

Oh good! Glad to hear you got this reassurance from your T! Maybe in the future you won't hesitate to seek it out?

Glad to hear you got a response!
I was asked by T to keep texting to a minimum and I started to panic. I finally told her about how I felt, and that I needed her reassurance. Right now we still only text re appointments, but I guess it's part of growing up. I can totally relate to needing reassurance from T, and it's so hard to realise they have other patients too, and they have a family - but know that they DO care about you!

It's so hard to know when and how much to ask for reassurance. so far my t has been very generous with her time, but i feel bad. i may talk to her about it today when i see her. at least i know now that i'm not the only one that has this issue. i think that helps. thanks
