I don't want to bother her but... I don't know what to do. I saw her on Saturday and she said I can call or email her anytime. Things have just been really hard lately; we finally discussed my SI and my job was mad redundant on friday. I just feel so depressed. I still have two more weeks at my current workplace and I can barely get up in the morning let alone be productive. I feel as though I am just a waste of space. I hate life at the moment and I just want to go to sleep and never wake up.

I just don't know what good it is going to do if I email T. She only works Monday, Tuesday and every second Saturday (I see her again next Saturday 10 March) and I can't get in to see her sooner because she is all booked up.

Sounds identical how I felt before I emailed my T first time.
Email her.....even if you can only say it in a sentence..she is there to help you, and the more she knows about your week..the more she can help.

I make the mistake of not letting her know how I feel..and just trying to survive the week, and when I came to her office, I put on my "im ok" act and she never knew I was just crumbling inside. What happened? I ended up having a complete meltdown and calling her anyway...in complete and utter *sobbing crying cant understand me* mode.

Email her...even if she cant answer right away, It will feel better....even if your like me and you tend to feel guilty after reaching out...it will help you "somewhere" inside... it really is a release, and will help her understand where you are during the week.
Also, she said you can email...T's offer that..they mean it. I think you should email her,

She is there to have someone to reach out to. We'll support u here too <3

Your t works even less than mine does. (4 part-time days a week)

If your t says to email her, do so if you need her. I do the same thing. My only problem is the anxiousness I feel when waiting for a reply, but mine only answers work email at work, so I at least have an idea of when she will respond.

Mine also says to call her cell phone, but I could never bring myself to do that.

Being made redundant qualifies as an emergency.

Thanks everyone for the replies. I am still not sure though... I mean what should I say in the email? And what is T going to be able to do about the stuff that's bothering me? It's not as though she will be able to make it go away so what's the point?

Valid question. Often times, emails are more like just releasing energy....stored up thoughts...
letting them go and sharing them with someone like your T, someone who can actually use those thoughts to gain knowledge about your situation and help you, can be beneficial. Maybe it cant go away, but it will help her understand where you are emotionally at this particular time..and it will give her insight to you outside of the office..
understand what I mean?
