I was indecisive about scheduling a therapy appointment and finally emailed after two glasses of wine and a lot of arguing with my SO.. Now I'm so freaking embarrassed about the email... It was way too personal and also I don't even know if I want to meet and also you can see all of my defense mechanisms in it.. It's like I'm just giving myself away and blah. Wish there were a "take back" button. Mental note: do not email therapist after drinking

Supposedly Gmail has an undo send feature.. I've never noticed it; could be it has to be activated:
Gmail Now Letting You Un-Send Regrettable E-Mails There's also a variety of apps to prevent drunk dialing, text, or emailing from your phone: How to Prevent 'Drunk Dialing' (and other assorted drunk sends) At least you could tell your T it inspired you to be proactive about preventing doing something like that again.

Sometimes those types of emails are the most beneficial. I don't drink, but I have sent emails and left voice msgs while having a breakdown. Once I calm down and realize what I did, I regret it (and remember that this is why my T warns me to sleep on things before reacting...). But everything turns out okay in the end. Most of the time, it helps me go forward in therapy (depending on what I said).

He actually wrote me back and didn't get upset
. He was very reassuring and the same old person he has always been. That makes me feel a little better. So I scheduled another appointment.

Yeah, I hate texting when I have a breakdown because it's always so embarrassing. But it seems to help.
