Struggling without therapy

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?

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!

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

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.
