This is bigger than paying a bill or rescheduling a car service though, so I reckon this is a call worth making. <br /><br />What ever you chose to do, make sure you stay safe ok? xNée Sayhttp://neesayer.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6844558941626805408.post-48669343477931245162012-09-19T15:49:00.783+10:002012-09-19T15:49:00.783+10:00Thank you everyone for your support.

Is there someone else who can make that call for you?

Why don't you ask somebody you trust to sit next to you and have them make the initial call and introduce you before they hand the phone over to you?

I know exactly what you mean about not wanting to make the call - I work in an office and I can't tell you the number of times I have had to walk outside when I am supposed to phone someone because I just don't like the phone - I don't like making the call and I don't like taking the call.<br />When there is no way out, I pluck up enough courage to dial the number and then hope like hell that nobody answers - if someone answers I just then have to deal with it.<br />I like the idea of getting someone else to dial and the let you talk - if dialing is the issue - for me talking is the issue and I would rather someone else talked !!<br />I hope that you are able to find some help. There is a great website called Band Back Together (http://bandbacktogether.com/) - I found quite a lot of advice / comfort on this site when I was dealing with my daughter's depression and self harming.<br />Love, hugs and positive energy !<br />MeMehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14520543769631877571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6844558941626805408.post-10328405783752417082012-09-18T14:38:50.143+10:002012-09-18T14:38:50.143+10:00Not sure this will help.. but this is what I had t...Not sure this will help.. but this is what I had to do when I was younger..<br /><br />close your eyes... dial.. put the phone down (not hangup!).. count to 30.. pick up the phone.. someone will be on the other end of the phone.<br /><br /><br />#teamIBOT was here saying hello!Yvette Bowyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04799266452174664290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6844558941626805408.post-70117567983333725232012-09-18T14:15:27.800+10:002012-09-18T14:15:27.800+10:00could you get someone else to dial for you - and t...could you get someone else to dial for you - and then have a drink together :-) ... or perhaps get your gp to do it while you're there.

If I wanted to call and speak to them, I would have done that first.<br /><br />Right now I'm waiting for an important call back, I had to leave a voicemail. Pretty much guarantee that when the phone rings it will scare the cr@p out of me, because phones aren't for that.Blundermumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16683143497644470655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6844558941626805408.post-12957789636486182112012-09-18T13:01:12.629+10:002012-09-18T13:01:12.629+10:00Hi Teegs.

I don't know you...Hi Teegs. Found you at IBOT.<br /><br />I don't know you yet, but I reckon you probably deserve to get better. I'd say you are probably worth that phone call. <br /><br />Are you able to give the self harm group a call? <br /><br />See if you can pick up the phone and dial ... and then someone might answer ... and you can say "I need your help" ... and they might hear you ... and see what happens from there. <br /><br />It might be the phone call to make all the difference. And it might not. But it's a start.<br /><br />Sending you good thoughtsLeanne @ Deep Fried Fruithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00886017636780724635noreply@blogger.com
