doing that thing where I have to call my therapist’s (who I see for anxiety issues) clinic but I am being too anxious to make the call because I have problems with phones
wow this is always so much fun
>:[ I AM READY TO GET OVER THE STUPID PHONE ISSUES UGGGHHHH why can’t I just magic anxiety away by force of sheer willpower, I am actually really pissed right now ugh. I WISH BEING PISSED WOULD HELP TOO
(as a funny bonus, the reason I have not yet brought up the phone issues with my therapist is because I am terrified that she is going to make me make phone calls to deal with it hahahahahahahaha my dad (who used to do counseling) told me that’s what he would do and I actually started crying aaaaaahahahahaha)
ok I am going to call right now, hold my hand tumblr :(
Oh man, I have the exact same thing as you. It’s okay, man, I know that you can do this. I had a pretty crippling fear of phones-I was even scared to talk to my grandma on the phone-but your therapist is there to HELP you. She won’t make you do things you don’t want to do. And if she does, then she’s not the right therapist for you. Remind yourself of how mature you’ve become over the years, how much you’ve achieved with this enormous burden on your back, and then make the call because you’re an adult who can communicate with other adults. Something that helps me is to write out all the questions I need to ask the other person so that I can be sure of not forgetting anything important. I know you can do this. Good luck.
