Ever just feel like you're losing it?

[CW&M Mom]

Seriously I'm nearly always on the computer if I"m stuck on the phone. bla bla boring.

For me part of it...was for a while...my life revolved around making a gazillon appointments, calling the insurance company or home health company every damn day...and I'm just to the point...that to not have to have those feelings of HAVING to make phone calls cause I HAVE TO. I just avoid them like the plague.

I used to like to be organized, and to make appointments and to be on the ball...and now I'm just a huge avoider just to cope. I'm much more productive if i wait until the last possible moment to do something then try and get it done early....cause the dread of having to do it...just overwhelms me.

I drink a lot.

I'm kidding, mostly.

Seriously, I've had to learn to just let a lot of things go. You do what you can and just keep on keepin' on.

I think that's the second reference I've seen to your alcohol problem...

Just kidding.

I HATE talking on the phone. Seriously. I only do it with people I really like/love. Like, my boss gave me an assignment to call these 20 clients on Friday and ask them about renewing their membership status, and I got to 4 (2 were voicemails) and put the rest off until Tuesday b/c I had anxiety about it. I have issues.

I call and battle with health insurance companies all the time. I hate having to battle for something your doctor orders for a patient. I cannot stand talking to them and it's even worse if the person at the insurance company has no clue what they are doing. I cannot stand to talk on the phone at all. The home phone will ring and I just listen to it and see if it is someone I want to talk to. If not well they get the machine

Oh the phone phobia - that's me all the way! I hate making phone calls, answering the phone, talking on the phone. Just avoid it as much as possible.
I have two (2) friends that I enjoy talking to on the phone. They're my very best friends but I only talk to them on the phone every couple of weeks. Then it'll be an hour long conversation or more. That's why they are my best friends - I love to talk to them, and I don't mind if it has to be on the phone.

But as far as the thread topic, I can totally relate to this as well. Not being able to focus on a task and complete it, starting a thousand things everyday and still not getting them done, it's my life. I'm so frustrated with myself, that I don't know what to do.
I didn't used to be like this.
It does help me to make a list, and then check things off. But sometimes I don't want to make a list, because it will become just another reminder of how much I have to do and how bad I am at getting them done.

HCW is an escape for me, and I jump on and off all day - usually it's only a few minutes every little while, but sometimes I escape for longer periods and that's not always good - it's just one more thing that keeps me from accomplishing what I need to.

I hate talking on the phone since I do it everyday at work. If I do talk on the phone I'm very quick to discuss whatever it is and hang up. DH does all the personal phone calls since he loves to talk on the phone. I used be awful about projects getting done but now I make myself finish them so I don't have undone things laying around.

i ALWAYS have unfinished projects lying all around...*L*

and i HATE being on the phone (except with my sister)....i think part of it is i like to see people face to face and judge reactions, etc, etc....and i hate when telemarketers call...i hate saying no (esp since they always have an arguement about why you just have to have whatever they are selling)....i normally end up hanging up on them and feeling so guilty for being so rude....

lately i've been avoiding most calls/voicemails...my friends are getting annoyed, but i just feel so overwhelmed a lot of the time....sometimes i just dont think my friends would understand, kwim? like when i told them about my dog, they were concerned and upset for me, but they don't understand the kind of attatchment i have with my animals....they really are like my children/a part of my family....

[juniehyatt]

i'm so sorry and you both will be in my prayers...i'm sure the waiting is the worst... :( take care....

Thank you for your prayers.There was a mix up with his insurance and now we are going to have to wait untill the 14th before he can even get the test done.UGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!! So we just have to wait and see. The waiting really is the worst.

[mayanfire]

that is rediculous!! i can't believe they want you to wait...can't they do the test, send you the bill, then submit the bill to the insurance? i know it's a lot of extra work, but you know...

i hope everything works out!

my dog (that's been sick) died early this morning... :( i'm sad, but it really was for the best...the shots that we've been getting weekly haven't been working as well as i would have liked and neither have the pills....he was in a lot of painand now he's not anymore....he was a great dog but i think he was just old and tired...it was like he just gave up and decided it was his time... :( he had a vet apt this morning but died a few hours before it was time for it....he was at least 16 (he was an adult when we got him) and i've been told that is old for yorkshire terriors....
