I’m new here and not so sure what forum to put things under. So hope I’m in the right place. Another poster suggested I post here.
I’ve been struggling a lot since my last therapy session. Next one isn’t for another few days. Reached out to therapist but no response. I feel hurt. I’ve been struggling with self harm and it hasn’t been going well.
I also email my therapist as a form of journaling, not for her to respond. It’s very helpful for me to process my emotions and also helpful to combat the urges to self harm. But I’m hurt that she didn’t respond to my texts and it’s holding me back from emailing even though they help. If I don’t email I will only be hurting myself. Physically and emotionally… I don’t want to let my hurt get in the way of my functioning at least over the next few days when the emails can really help me.
Hope this makes sense… would love insight from others, because so far I’ve been finding the posters here so kind and helpful.
