He said to write if I felt bad. So I did. He doesn't respond often. Hasn't responded. I got more upset and sent another a day later. Nothing, no response. I just sent another saying goodbye. I'm not in a good place.

I'm sorry you are struggling right now and t it's not responsive. Would texting or calling t to alert him to the emails be an option?
Thanks for this!

Talk about it during the next session. My therapist did not even respond to scheduling texts, I had to ask her to confirm the appointment a day before. I wanted to quit and all my instincts told me to not go see a person who does not give a damn. But I went and told her about it and she started responding within two business days. Talk to him.
Thanks for this!

Please call your T. I've done this--had a whole misunderstanding without T's involvement! His email may not be working, he could be away, T may care very much you don't have evidence one way or the other just yet. If you get in touch and T seems uncaring, then you have something to go by
Thanks for this!

thanks for the advice. i just feel like giving up right now. it's the weekend, so i'll just leave it alone. i got some sleep so i don't feel as bad. i don't think he ever cares anyway. there is no point in pursuing him. i should have never tried.

Everything is going on. I lost my job due to poor management of the company. I've been working a temp job as much as possible, which means i've had very little sleep. I've been loosing weight because i can't afford to buy food. I have the weekend off and plan on resting. So, yeah, i guess it's not just him not responding.

((Brazen)) I'm sorry. Can you put your decision aside until you get a chance to phone him on Monday?

You have every right to call him out now. See what he says, and if not acceptable, give him your honest thoughts.
Thanks for this!

You really need to tell him when you next see him. That he encouraged you to email and then does not respond has really hurt you by the sounds of it, not surprisingly, it would really hurt me too. Please try to tell him.
Thanks for this!

There are many alternatives to 'he doesn't care'. It could be that his internet was not working; that he was away and had no internet; that he is behind on his email and hasn't opened yours...

Hang in there.
Thanks for this!

Say what!!?? That's just cold.

It makes no sense to me that he would encourage you to write without having the intention to respond in the first place. I hope you can let him know how his actions (or lack thereof) have affected you. Had he been more clear by simply saying, "please feel free to write me but know I will not be able to respond" would have saved you a lot of grief. What a di*k.

When is your next appointment with him?
Thanks for this!

Session today was stiff and mostly silent. I got the "legally I have to tell you to call 911 or got to the emergency room" lecture. I hate him. I'm too attached.

Ew. I'd find a new t. I'm annoyed just cuz mine didn't say "feel better". I wouldn't have even gone back if I were you. But then again I also would not email my t about my life issues when out of session just cuz i feel like it would be asking her to work for free. But if he told you to then that is different and maybe I just haven't been lucky to have ys who I had that relationship with.

Sorry this happened to you. Really that stinks. I don't know why ppl become therapists if they are going to act like that.

It's funny, my anger at him has given way to compassion for him. He clearly doesn't know the difference between being upset and being suicidal. Perhaps that is why he did not answer and was so stiff, he might have been scared. I have decided to let it play out for a while. It is my hope I can get through to him somehow. I will see if he is completely insensitive or just really bad at supporting someone.

Did tell him in your email that you were suicidal? You didn't mention that in your original post.

No I did not. I said I was upset. He assumed and treated me like I was. The session was so uncomfortable I couldn't clarify. I don't think he gets me at all.
