There is always the suicide and crisis center that can send an outreach counselor out to meet with you until you get stable.

I'm not sure we have that here. We do have a crisis line that I can call, and have called before. That's actually part of the plan. If I can't talk to someone I know to help me on the drive home, I can call the crisis line to talk to me on the way home.

The overall plan is to NOT get me to the point of a crisis. This stuff (calling people, crisis line, 911, hospital) is for when we can't calm the crisis down. We're just trying to avoid 911 and/or hospital if at all possible.

Y'know, I rather struggle with that too. L (my L, of course ) told me recently that I make it difficult for people to be in relationship with me because I won't say how I feel. Or if I do try to I always stick on the "i don't know" at the end so people really can't be sure where I'm at about anything. I think she's only gotten to know me as well as she has because we've worked so deeply with my dreams. And why it's taken 9+ years for her to know me as well as she does. |

Would you consider going to a Day Treatment program? They do a lot of planning on how to avoid getting into a crisis among other types of therapies (CBT, DBT, etc).

Going to the hospital would be worst-case scenario, and I would only be to get me through the breakdown. At most, 24 hours just to get anxiety meds, calm down, and sleep in a safe place. Then L and I can figure out the next steps. If let's say someone (person or pet) dies, then I'll probably need to go to a crisis house. But that's a different type of crisis than what I'm talking about. __________________ "Odium became your opium..." ~Epica |

L gave me a new slot for Fridays and said that that and my Tuesday slot are indefinitely mine. I feel better and I'm still a little bitter about my old time slot. But L has me on the schedule all the way through June. 8 sessions will be Vsee, but the rest are in-person. I really appreciate her fitting me into a permanent spot. She agreed that it would help reduce the tension and anxiety to give me my own slot.

Yay Scarlet! If that were me, my anxiety would probably be reduced! Hope it feels good to have a regular spot again!

It really does feel good to have a regular spot that's all mine. Of course, sometimes she schedules me for different times and days depending on her schedule (i.e. vacations, doctors, etc.), but I know no one else will have my time slot.
