First thing I did was ask T for a hug and she complied. I wasn't sure how I was going to feel but T gave me a soft, cozy blanket to wrap around me. It didn't help my pain, but made me feel cared about. She told that if I don't hear back from her when I email, I should feel free to call, email again, or text! I only texted her once by accident, but she said it was okay.

I told her all about my ER and doctor visit, and she empathized. Then we talked about my depression and the probable cause, which I can't get into here. She still suggests meds but I don't want them. I happened to mention that I had a lot of expired meds like Ambien and Valium in my drawer. She immediately became concerned when I said that. She asked if I thought of taking too many. I had to honestly say it occurred to me fleetingly because I feel depressed. She wanted me to promise to get rid of all my old meds. I guess I promised. In a way, I felt good that she's taking care me, so to speak. This has never come up before because I've never
felt so depressed. I keep dropping the phone so I'd better stop.

I'm so glad that after the painful uncertainty of this holiday break and her not replying to (not seeing/receiving) your email, she was very caring (by the sounds of it) today. I hope you're feeling better mentally and physically very soon.
Thanks for this!

I'm glad you can feel free to reach out again if you don't hear from her! My therapist really impressed that upon me as well, and now I look on it as a way of taking care of myself, if I feel like I need to hear from him and haven't heard back.

I hope you are feeling better soon.
Thanks for this!
