i am so sluggish, so numb, so nothing. Yet concerned about my health at the same time. i have ITP—a blood disease where your platelets get destroyed by your T-cells, and eventually they get so low you spontaneously start bleeding out internally and die. i have been in remission from the ITP for 3 months now, or at least I was at last doctor’s appointment 2 months ago. i have a funny feeling that my platelets are going down again. I don’t have a blood draw scheduled until April 9. This feeling of not knowing makes me want to cut to see the consistency of the blood. And the numbness also makes me want to cut. Both the numb & lethargic feelings and this NEED to know right now, if my ITP is back is triggering me to SI. i left a voice mail on my T’s cell phone, like i am supposed to do, but he isn’t calling me back. What should i do? Last edited by Berries; Mar 29, 2009 at 07:09 PM. |

ring your dr and let them know how anxious you are - see if you can get the test done now to settle your fears - and if T doesnt ring back - ring again - T may be in a session - and that may be why no call back - hang in there -

Thank you for asking P7. I am doing about the same.
T never called me back. I feel a little upset about that. We had a safety contract. I was supposed to call if I felt suicidal or self-harmful. I kept my end up. But, then I feel guilty for being upset with him, because he sees me for practically FREE. And I am very grateful for that. He, so far, has treated me the same as a full paying patient, but I guess you get what you pay for. I did some self harm, but not cutting. The self harm didn't hurt me. So, it is all good I guess. I see T, at our regular time, today at 3pm. |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
