Responses To Your Therapist That You Will Probably Never Say

To my psychiatrist (since I don't have a therapist at this time): Response given: I quit drinking or only drink 1 or 2 drinks a night. True answer: I drink two 1.75 liters of tequila a week faithfully, isn't it amazing what tolerance can do and that I'm still alive!
 
Me: You genuinely seem to care about me. I never noticed it before, but I like you. I don't need you, which is a good thing, but I appreciate your care and that you have went out of your way to get me further support after therapy finished. Thank you :hug:. You helped me realise many things. I don't know if I would have recognised the dissociation without you, or began to see that I have choices. Thank you T, for not giving up on me. I hope you get the things in life that you want.

^ Ugh, very slushy :laugh::facepalm:.
 
I noticed one thing, she will read my emails, but not reply to them. Again, I have her home phone, but I am not supposed to use it unless it is an emergency. Trouble is, my emergency or hers? Hers would be if I were thinking of killing myself, I suppose. I had a therapist that was angry with me because I never told her about planning a suicide for 4 months, I just did it. (I failed at it, of course).

So, yes, I'm supposed to let her know if I am thinking of killing myself. Other than that, it would be my emergency and she won't reply to my email or phone call. HHHmmmmm.... kind of confounding.
 
Something that has always frustrated me is that if I'm having a tough day I can't go over to mental health and just talk it out with somebody. The only way that I can walk into mental health and talk to somebody is if I feel like harming myself or others... Luckily there are a couple people here where I am that I can talk to when I'm having a rough day.
