I’ve had several major horrible things happen this week. I’ve been trying to be strong but today I began to think of SUI all day. So I just called the office and asked her to pass along a message to him. Why do I feel so nervous about the phone call this afternoon? I’m so overwhelmed, that I don’t know if I can accurately explain it.

HUGS @hopealwayz maybe you can spend a little time journaling to try to get your thoughts straightened out before your T calls you back. It might help things get sorted out. Even if you write something like this happened and then this happened and then this happened and I felt this and then I felt this, and then I started noticing SUI thoughts. Etc. One moment at a time okay? HUGS Kit

Sorry you're feeling so anxious Hope , I'm sure everything will be fine , but we run every possible worst scenario outcome in our heads until we discover it's fine. Try to focus on your breathing to calm you down , or find a safe place in your mind. Hugs.

Yeah, he may forget but I hope not. I think he would want to know how much I wanted to die today. What if the new receptionist forgets to tell him?

Try not to go into "what if's" Hope because that is a slippery slope. Try to trust that the doctor will call you as soon as he can. Try not to worry. Try to do something to distract yourself in the meantime. Dance to some music. Do some deep breathing or yoga, etc. HUGS Kit

I always get anxious after I ask for my psychiatrist to call me. I'm always afraid he'll think my reason for calling wasn't that important or that I'll forget what I need to say to him. Neither in 25 years has ever happened. He's not always perfect on the phone because sometimes he's rushed if its a daytime call, but I always get what I need. I call him very rarely so when I do he takes my call seriously. Sometimes it can take till 8 or 9 PM to get a call back. It's not that he's forgotten, but rather he's waiting for a quiet moment to have a meaningful conversation. My best advice...be patient.

I’m doing a lot better today. I felt so much better after I talked to him on the phone.
