Re: can't get through to my T

[Guest guest]

What other ways can you reach her? Can you drive to her office? Try dialing

again and see if you miss dialed. Or can you e-mail her? My T responds to

texts and e-mails. Does she have a partner? can you google her office and

see if she has a new number?

You'll get her, just don't give up. Don't panic yet And that's what we

are here for.

How frustrating for you! Don't most doctors arrange to have a colleague take

over their practice when they're going to be out of town, or give their patients

an emergency number to use if they need it?

Chronic sleep deprivation is not good; it can result in things like thought

disorders, decrease in the ability to problem-solve, paranoia, panic, and

possibly even hallucinations.

This does not mean you are crazy, its a neuro-chemical side-effect of a chronic

sleep deficit or insomnia (lack of any sleep at all.) I myself experienced

interestingly bizarre hallucinations after entirely missing one-and-a-half

night's sleep, so I know this is true.

If this was me, I'd go see my regular primary care physician ASAP for help if I

could not reach my therapist and I was experiencing a distressing increase in

insomnia and the results of insomnia.

Best of luck to you; we're here for you.

I got through to her today and she called back. I think it was a problem

with her phone and that's the only number I could find online or anywhere.

I have apt tomorrow at 1.
