I self injury myself. I stopped 6 months ago. My T developed a plan for me to distract myself if I get urges. After I tried everything, my last option is to call my T.

I been thinking about doing it all day but don't really have urges just have the thought in my head. My mom died unexpectedly last week and it's probably due to this stress. Half of me doesn't want to cut myself, the other half does.

I have Social Anxiety and never called my T on weekends before. I don't want to bother her. would like to talk to her about this to just help get the thought out of my head. I don't want her to hospitalize me.

Do you think I should call her or just wait until tomorrow.

Thanks for your help!

Is there a big difference between your thoughts and urges? If not, and you've done the other things in your plan, and it will help to talk to her, then it can only be a good thing to call.
Thanks for this!

If you have gone down the things in your list then I think you should call. I am so sorry about the loss of your mom.

I would call her. It sounds like you haven't abused the privilege, and I think under the circumstances (losing your mom), your therapist would totally understand. Probably just hearing her voice would ground you.

Let us know how it goes.

I generally call when I can't get the thoughts to stop looping in my head or when I get to the point where I can't set the idea of calling T aside. T would prefer I call sooner, and I'm working on that. Basically, if you think you should call, then you probably should

It sounds like a reasonable time to call. I'm very sorry to hear that you've lost your mom.

With everything going on just now ... I think calling and hopefully getting some extra support and help from your T is a really good idea

Sorry about your mom. Hugs.
My t told me to call any time for any reasons. I said I'll only call in emergency to which she said I could call any time regardless emergency or not. If you are struggling just call!
