If you need help, please do so. If it is a different kind of call, I am the same way, even when it benefits me, I get nervous and afraid to call.

You know what I do. . .if I get to that point and feel like I can't call anybody around here. . .
I'll get online, pick a state, look up the county mental health hot line, and call there. You can also block out your caller ID from being sent as well. . .it's a feature on cell phones and landlines.

When I'm at my worst, that is when I cannot call either. I'm not sure if it is fear or shame or just plain inability. I'm not sure I could be lucid on the phone. I usually pray and sleep when this happens, and cry alot.
Hope you get what you need right now Direction. ((((Direction))))

I learned a couple of tricks years ago when I used to make collection calls.
First, I make a note of the points I need to make, questions I need to ask. Secondly, I usually will stand while making the phone call. When worried about the call for whatever reason, by standing, it gives you a feeling of being large and in control. I hope this might help anyone out there who is having difficulties making phone calls. Also, practice helps too. Ask a friend to critique what you are saying  Hugsss sabby |
