I have a bad habit/compulsion of calling my grandparents multiple times a day. The odd thing is, I've had the same thing happen to me where a disabled friend called multiple times a day so I can understand their annoyance that I call so frequently especially if I only have nothing to say.

I think it's a fear that life is short and my time with them is limited, and I have always been attached to my grandparents and have always had a great relationship with them, but I realize the constant phone calls can be a burden for them.

I've been working on friendships, just started a journal, and keeping busy but I still feel a compulsion to call them every day. I was thinking of limiting the calling to once a week every Friday? In my head that seems like a long time to go without calling (considering I call multiple times a day), but if I only call once a week I have a week's worth of things to talk about, not just the first thought that comes to mind because often times I have one thought in my head and then I have nothing to say.

Ideas on how to cut back on the calling?
