I'm a mess right now. I neeed to call my T but I'm shaking so bad I can't think of what to even say and I'd most likely need to leave a message but I'm scared she won't get it. Something really bad happened this morning and while I wasn't there when it happened it really affects me and my job and my kids. I don't want to trigger anyone so I won't say more unless asked.

Call your T anyway. Even if she doesn't get it immediately, at least you've reached out. Just say whatever comes out of your mouth. This is the time to access your therapist. That's what they're there for.

i think just leaving what you have said here is enough of a message to leave your therapist. you can expand on the details when she calls back. is there a reason to think she wont get it? if it would help you to share whats going on here please do so. i will check back later. hang in there.

I called a couple times and a couple times it took her a week to get back to me because she either forgot to return my call or didn't understand my babbling and couldn't figure out who had called.

If you would like to say more, I am listening. Hope you are able to call your T and get a call back. My T is bad about returning calls too, so I know how hard that is. It is important to have a back-up source of support in case T doesn't call back. Hope you are OK.

I'm listening too if you want to share what happened. I hope you're able to find your T and hope you're ok.

We're here for you if you want to say more.... And I do advocate for calling your T, even just leaving a message may help. My T won't call back less I ask, but really it is in leaving the message so my T knows what's going on that helps most.

You really should call your T. If you need to, write it out and make it clear to her that you really need to speak to her today and to please call you back.

Perhaps you could write out what you need to say, and just keep it simple..."Hi, this is xxx. I need to you call me, please. This is very urgent"

Short message, simple, clear, and your T would know it's important.

I do hope you call your T!

I'm so sorry you're hurting. Please call your T...reach out.

I waited until 8p and called the clinic and to my surprise she answered. We talked for a good 20mins. I didn't want to make the event about me so I told her I needed help getting my daughter through this event. Which is true, but I'm just mentally exhausted right now. It's been a very hard week as it is and then today's event just pushed me over the top. I had flash backs and was shaking all day. On top of this, I found out my special needs son won't qualify for services anymore unless I can get a diagnosis, but because he is 2yrs old no one is willing to label him right now. She said she would help me out with that too. I do feel better, just numb.

(((JWD))) I'm glad you were able to connect with T and she is able to help you.
