I wrote a post on Social about the inventory we did yesterday at my library. I am in a panic. I want to call my therapist, because this is exactly what we have been talking about. But it is Sunday Morning at 9:00. Please read my post on Social and help me figure out what to do.
Thanks, Babble.

Hmm. I read your other post, and I think I would beep him???
Of course, I don't think you should make a habit out of using the beepr, but it doesn't seem that you do that.
What is his policy on using the beeper? You could always beep him, then when he calls back, say, this isn't a life or death emergency but I wanted to talk to you about a work crisis. When would be a good time to talk? Then, leave it up to him to say, oh let's just talk now or to set another time.
That is the worst when you delegate work and it doesn't get done. :(

Hi Fallsfall. Just read your post. (Lee) Anyway sorry about the difficult time you are having. Remember the many times had this issue would talk to you about? You would always cheer me on and support me to call. That he would be there. Please if you need him do that. He cares. You deserve it and need his support right now. Take care of you. I care. Miss you also from our meetting place. Please again call.Let me know. Going to share something with you that hopefully will support you on this.
Last Saturday was in crisis. This time of the year especailly March. Anyway did not sleep the night before. Switching back and forth. Have never called where go to T on a weekend. Had to. Called and there was a pager number. Paged it and thinking how am I going to explain this to who ever calls back. Not sure who was going to be. Luck was with me. It was my T on call. Anyway he was really ok with it. First of all took about a couple of hours for the page to be returned. But that was ok knowing it was a weekend and the guilt. Anyway he apologized and said he was out doing an errand and if he knew it was me he would of called right back. He said he did not want me paging again if needed him but insisted that he give me his home phone number that to call he would be home. Refusesd but he insisted. Took it. Would never ever call there but at the time it felt like a security thing. When saw him at session told him was scared to be one of theese pain clients and could not afford to loose him. Very seldom call him during sessions but when do very hard. Know what his response was? "I understand because I know how much you went through alone and feel for sympathy for you." So Fallsfall please call. Your T sounds like he cares much from your posts and it will be ok. Let me know. Really miss you my friend. (((((((Fallsfall)))))))

Thank you both for your support. I ended up not calling, but I'll ask him tomorrow if I should have. Dinah and Karen_Kay were able to get me to calm down. More info on my social thread.

He said that it sounded like I had friends who were willing and able to help me. He didn't know what he would have added. So he didn't see that I needed to call him. He didn't say that I *couldn't* have called him, but clearly he thinks that if I can get my needs met by the real world that that is better.
