When you ring your P or T how do you decide to say if it is urgent or not? I talk to my P nearly every night but today I really needed him this morning and I was too scared to say it was urgent so I will just have to wait.

Emergency= your health/safety is in grave danger.
Crisis= you are having an emotional meltdown that could end up becoming an emergency if not handled.
I've never called either therapist during the week other than to schedule appointments. However, I frequently (several times a week) text with T1 when I am having a crisis. If I need T2 in a crisis, I send her an email knowing that I will not get much of a response, yet it still grounds me to have sent the email.
