I just roughed out this 'script' to leave on my T's voicemail. If I get the nerve to call her. I have never left a message like this. I am sure I will feel all better tomrrow. Why bother.
**I needed to call you. As much as I hate to say I need to call you I really do this time.
I’m not feeling very well. I’m not feeling very safe.
I think I am going to go spend the night at my moms.
I just can’t be here alone right now. I don’t know what else to do.
I need to be around someone. And oddly I just want to be with my mom.
I hope this message makes some sense. I’m sorry if it doesn’t.
I might call you tomorrow. I’ll see how things go.**

Bent, thats a GREAT message, and I think your T will appreciate it. T's like to know whats happening with us, and thats a TOTALLY non intrusive message. Just a touch base thing.
Please, i do hope you call.
I am starting to understand more about phone calls, and I think if you don't expect and instant response, then there is no prob.
My T has been quite clear that its OK if I want to just touch base with her occasionally.
There don't even need to be a reason.
I swear, I think T's need to make it clear (RPEATEDLY in my case!!!) what their phone policies are.....
cuz it IS a hard thing.
So I hope you can call.
Then mebbe you can ask your T bout calls, to reassure yourself as to whats what for your T and calls.
Take care,
Hope you feel better some.

I know what you mean! My T has no issues with phone calls, unless they are like everyday I guess. But I want to her to constantly tell me its ok! I have called her before, maybe a handful of times and she always welcomes my calls whether they are crying calls, touch base calls, I'm quitting therapy for ever calls, emergency calls, etc. I seem to have my calls categorized! :-)
I haven’t called though. Not sure if I will. I think maybe this time was hard because I was feeling quite desperate and I was afraid that when we talked next I'd be all fine and not want to talk about how bad I was feeling 'then.' However I am not feeling much better. Cried most of last night, then the whole way to work this morning. I just worry about getting ‘too upset’ if you know what I mean. Thanks for listening.
