Struggling without therapy

Knees

701d

I haven’t been to my therapist in over four weeks and I am truly struggling. I want to die and it’s really hard to keep going. I can’t see her in over two more weeks. I can’t sleep and I want to hurt myself again. Anyone got advice?

      How are you doingtoday? Take it hour by hour or if you have to minute by minute. Have you tried using a journal to get your thoughts out in-between appt? You could call your therapist office and tell them it's an emergency situation? If you need just dm me and we can talk. I'm not a therapist but can be a friend who's been where you are before.

      This pain is temporary. Remind yourself that you're okay, you have an appointment with your therapist soon, and you just have to keep going until then. Watch something funny, with or without another person. Last but not least: CRY. seriously, if you feel like you need to cry, do it. listen to a sad song or watch a sad video if you need to jumpstart your tears. it's amazing how cathartic it is to just have a good cry. I'm sorry you're experiencing this and can't get to your therapist soon enough to ease the pain

      I would also suggest reaching out to your local crisis center. I'm almost positive every county has one? Otherwise the suicide prevention hotline is always a good resource. They always have someone willing to listen. 800-273-8255 Is the suicide lifeline number. If you are thinking of harming yourself in any way, I would highly suggest reaching out to them. Even if just to vent for a bit to get u thru to when u can see ur therapist again. Best of luck!

        @K_meyer I second local crisis centers! You can speak with someone anonymously and all they want is to listen and support you. If you have a friend or family member you feel comfortable talking to, reach out and be honest about how you're struggling. I hope that you're able to get the support you need ❤️

      Why can't you see your therapist? My therapist was always going to conventions and trips and everyone month I wouldn't see her. I hate that bitch, for so many reasons she did me dirty but what I learned from that experience is that I need a consisten therapist that I can see every week. Also have u looked into free support groups

          @Knees One thing I have found that's been super helpful is Cerebral. I have to pay for it because my insurance doesn't cover it but it's like $80 a month and I have unlimited access. If I have something going on and need to reach out I can. I have found it super helpful. It's not always my therapist herself that answers if I send a message but it's always someone on my care coordination team that has access to all my info and can catch up on my background before reaching back out to me. I've found it super beneficial. I have pretty bad anxiety and sometimes between sessions I need to be able to reach out and ask questions or talk with someone and they are there. At all times.

          @Knees would you be willing to go to an online support group where you can talk to people about what you're dealing with?

          @Knees why not message them? it probably won't be a session but maybe theyll give you some small advice or maybe they'll have someone cancel last minute and theyll take you in
