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.

----just an idea: Write each phone number on an index card, then prioritize them so you only face one at a time. Have a friend be there if possible. Perhaps you could do some in person or by email.

Thanks everyone. I made my phone calls and took care of everything. I feel relieved! My house will be ok, my dads still a prick, my family thinks I'm a loser lol. Whatever I can't take anymore bad news or down talking. It's abusive and it upsets me so bad I shake. I still keep my phone on silent most of the time lol. I have a therapy appointment tomorrow and I'll discuss this anxiety too. As far as my house, I'll be ok. But that doesn't change the dynamic of my family. Oh well I'm sure I'm not the only one!
