yes, i think i am like that with everyone where i feel i am taking a "risk", or where i really want an outcome. it's not just emails though - it's phone calls, texts, letters etc.

i am carrying my mobile around with me because i am expecting a few calls. i am compulsively checking my email because i am trying to arrange a time to meet up with someone next month and i want to know now.

i think what someone mentioned earlier - about knowing their Ts schedule - has helped me a lot. i know pdoc calls me now when he is driving home, so usually i have to wait until after 7pm for a return call. i still carry my phone with me everywhere, just in case, but at least i dont start beating myself up and doubting myself until 7.01pm .
