WOuld you do it? I am in bit of a crisis. Spoke to T breifly yesterday (Saturday) which he was ok about. Am a bit worried. Don't want to call crisis line as I don't want to tell my whole story again about why i feel like this. Want to check in with T but it's Sunday and I don't want to take the **** with him.

Yes, I would at least do the courtesy of calling. Your T decides when and if they check messages as well as when/if they call back. You need to be getting support somewhere right now.

I would call the SUI line as for the person who will answer, they've never heard your story before. You matter Chronic. xoxoxoxo.

I'd say call whoever you need to whenever you need to. It's YOUR life, after all, and their jobs are to help you live the best life possible.

Get help ASAP. This is a potentially very bad sign. Call your T and tell them right away. Then call a helpline or go to the ER. We don't write such notes "just in case" trust me, I've been there.
Please take care of you.

Hey,

it sounds like you are very respectful his time and the boundaries of therapy and under normal circumstances you would not contact him at the weekend, but this isn't the normal circumstances and I think if your feeling very SUI then you should call him. He will know you don't do this all the time and that it's important. Therapist's know that calls out of office hours is part of their job, like a doctor on call almost. If you didn't call him, he may wonder why you felt you couldn't when your in so much need of support. You have an extremely valid reason to call. In fact if you can't call your T when your feeling SUI, then when can you?

*huge hugs* I have been SUI many times in my life so I do understand

Thanks everyone. I am thinkning of texting him so as not to intrude on the weekend. I'm scared he's going to call people before I've spoken to him though. I want to contact him so that I don't have to go to hospital and involve everyone. I feel like I am making a big deal out of things. I can't even beleive I have posted this stuff here

(((((Chronic))))

I'm so sorry to hear you are experiencing such a difficult time, but I am so glad that you chose to share here on PC. You should definitely contact your T and ask for the help that you need. Given the nature of your situation, I think weekend contact sounds highly appropriate. I'm sure your T would rather you contact him than go any further with the SUI thoughts. If talking to him will help ease the situation, you should absolutely do that.

As nannypat said, please do let us know if you are able to reach T and update us on how you're doing. We'll be thinking about you!

Yeah hoping that you're ok Chronic, whether you choose to post on here or not. Things must be really bad if you are considering taking your own life. I really do hope that you can call your T, call a hotline or even go to the ER because that is what they are there for.
