How hard is it to return a phone call? I don't @*&^^*! understand why it is so difficult. They don't care, none of them do...I don't know if I am ever going back.

ohh Jully. i've written this exact post many times myself. I know exactly how your feeling. Usually it turns out they have a decent excuse and then you feel stupid. All i can say is please please don't stop going back, as much as you feel uncared about, the truth is they do care. Once you hear his or her excuse it will be ok. or if they don't have one and they apologize, it will be ok. tell them exactly as you have said here. i really do understand your frustration.

Looks like I'll probably be made to wait until Monday. Ohhhh, sometimes I could just scream. This is just pure torture. If I don't get a call on Monday, I don't know what I will do. Maybe T doesn't understand how important this is...

Thanks for the reply, krazibean

Jully, call back and leave another message; your T may not have gotten the first one or something. It is a "business" arrangement like other ones; you'd call an insurance company or utility company if you needed something from them, therapists aren't a whole lot different. Just leave a pleasant, light message like, "Hi, this is Jully. I'm not sure if you got my first message on Thursday; I'd like you to give me a call at your earliest convenience please at 123-555-1212."

I can't call back again. I'm not sure I'm allowed to call on weekends. I'm afraid T hates me and is going to terminate, and I don't want to give reason for that to happen by crossing a boundary. I think I am supposed to just be ok between sessions and not need anything. I hate myself right now, and I am so confused.
