I have many important, stressful, possibly life changing stuff going on in my life right now that is causing my anxiety to get bad. My big thing is the phone. I keep my phone on silent and face down because I'm scared to get more bad news or threatening texts from my dad. My issues right now revolve around finances and possibly losing my house. I'm bipolar and cannot work and I need to call my attorney for SSI but I'm afraid to call and possibly get bad news. I have money from my mom that passed and my grandma has control of the trust. I need to speak to her to get money to save my house but I'm scared she's going to go off on me for getting in this situation. I just cannot get myself to make these phone calls. When I do talk on the phone I pace the room. I talked to my therapist and she said by the next visit (two weeks from now), I better of made these calls. She even tried to get me to call from her office.

I don't know what to do. Does anyone else have a phobia of talking on the phone? What helps!? I'm going nuts over here.
