Rio-

This is sort of a response to both of your recent posts. First off, I'd like to say that I think you are brave to make yourself continue to do things even though they seem tough to overcome. I have a hard time with that sometimes-I'll avoid situations (theaters, freeways) and it is SO hard to say "OK, I am going to do this even though I'm scared.

Also, in your other post you mention feeling like a child. I can relate to that. I think that everyone feels like this at times- some more than others. At this stage of my life, I am almost 27 and I think to myself, "how can I take care of another human when I feel like I'm still 4 or 16!!" Anyways, baby steps, Rio (no pun intended). I'd also like to say, too, that although you have trouble with something as little as a phone call, know that you are a strong person- when you were talking about going skiing- that is something I've never tried (and I live in one of the snowiest states!) but am too afraid- mostly of the ski lifts. I just wanted to say that, too me, THAT IS BRAVE!!!

Take care and good luck with the calls!
