Hi K.

I guess it's respectful to let your pdoc know when you are changing meds or even dosages, since she's the one prescribing them. I don't think it's a major deal, but I often got criticized when I used to change things on my own with my last pdoc. So I starting faxing her any changes, or if I was feeling discouraged, and she would always call me at the end of the day or early evening, even though I hadn't asked or expected a call back.

In your case,maybe your therapist used that as an example of how you are trying to do this all by yourself (or mostly by yourself) and maybe as a reminder that both she and your pdoc are there for you. I think it's appropriate to call your pdoc and therapist at home when you are feeling that you need immediate support. I've called when I am feeling utterly hopeless, but not necessarily actively suicidal. Maybe this is less about when exactly to call them and more about accepting their collaboration and support as a stepping stone to accepting support from others in your life. Since I know that has been an issue with you. Anyway, just a guess and a chance to connect with you.
