So, a few months ago my T and me set up a little protocall thinging where I had to wait 24 hours for her to return a call or text message...So On Monday I called and left a message on her voicemail. It was detailed and it stated how unsafe I was feeling and how I was feeling angry and destructive etc.
That was Monday...I have not been able to get in touch with her and she has not called me at all. 4 days is too much and now I don't know if I am mad as Hell or concerned that something happened to her or that she just up and left me even though she promised she would never leave me. My head is going back and forth with so many thoughts.... |

She may have taken this week off for vacation. Do you have an emergency number to call?
I'm sure you will connect next week.

Suz,
If it's been four days, I would call back and check in. That's just me, though. I thought that she was going on vaca of some kind, or is she back? She may not have gotten, or she may have gotten it and completely forgotten. Many t's are overwhelmed this time of year too...with personal issues as well as client workload. Good luck! Let us know. KD

Guess what, not more then 15 minutes after writing this my T called. She has been sick and was in the hospital. She has walking pneumonia but she is also in Tx visiting her family.
She said she felt so bad about not getting to me before now. We talked for 15 minutes on the phone. She said she was proud of me for staying safe and said that she would be home on Sunday but if I need her I can call her at her parents house and gave me their #. Wow...I would never call her there but still...that was nice. I am much better now. Thanks for your well wishes...it was a mean 4 days to me in my head! |

Im really glad this worked out. Your T cares and by the sounds of things is giving herself as much of a hard time as you are for missing you call. Alls well that ends well

WOW is right! The 4 days were "unbearable" but now you won't ever have to go through that much again, because you know if she doesn't call within 24 hours, she still cares! I agree with KD though, as my T has reminded me, if my T doesn't call back within his usual response time, he might not have received the message, and to call again to be sure. With all the technology of today, it still fails at times and "drops" calls or messages. I'm glad it worked out for you.. and hope your T will be well soon too!

Yes, very happy tonight knowing my T called and still cares for me.
I did call her a few times each day...so when it got beyond a 48 hour mark I realized that something had to be preventing her... When I talked to her today and told her that she said she was so proud of me for trusting her. Usually when I don't hear from her in like 6 hours I begin leaving mean messages...so I didn't do that this time and she was glad I trusted in her. |

 I think you did everything correctly, and it worked out pretty ok in the long run (but those 4 days were tough cookies I'm sure!)

What a rough 4 days to go through. I sounds like your t is very caring and obviously wanting to help you. I am glad you reacted appropriately and handled yourself well. I am glad that you two finally connected. Next time you will know that something went wrong and to call back. I hope you are proud of yourself and how you coped.

thats awesome.
congrats on your rationalizing why she might not have been able to call, and her calling you back with a good reason.
