too scared to make a phone call

[chingas]

I should really call to dentist and my doctor and make an appointment for both..
I was all cool when I searched the numbers last night and find dates that would be okay for me.. I really thought I could do that.
But now I'm very nervous and close to panicking..

How can I calm myself down to make these calls?

The most I'm afraid that I have to admit that I need help. That I can't do this all by myself.
I can't say loud 'I need help ''cause my mental health is breaking'' or ''I need some medicine to calm me down before I can come to dentist''. I can't say anything like that even alone in my room.. not to mention to actually say it for someone..

Any ideas?
I'd be very pleased to get some help.

the best thing to do is to breathe slowly and just do it. i know that may not sound helpful but that'll be the easiest way. maybe have a cup of tea whilst doing it? you dont need to tell the receptionist why you want to see the doctor, just ask for an appointment, if they ask what it is about just say it is personal.


good luck
let us all know how it went!

hay,
maybe try planning what your going to say, i know its really hard cause i usually end up nearly dialling about 6 times but panic and put the phone down before i press the last number before i can actually do it,
try not to put it of to long so then you can get it out of the way and relax, its usually always never as bad as you think its going to be.

Do you know where your fear is coming from?
Are u afraid or picking up the phone and talking? Or is the fear to do with going to the dentist or dr ?
I have the same problems, i just panic when i have to make an appt or pick up the phone.
Take deep breaths, even write down what your going to say.
But think about it, whats the worst thing thats going to happen 2 u?
U can do this babe,keep telling urself that u can do this and there is no problem with doing so.
Keep urself calm.
Hope ur ok

First call made!!

I MADE IT!

It went absolutely fine.. The lady on the phone sounded nice.. My voice stayed calm..

First I dialled the number but closed right after.. Then I called and waited three "beep".. closed..
Took a deep breathe and called again.. waited many seconds( gosh that was one long time.. felt like)..
And I made it through..
I am so relieved..

now.. the next call.. this is gonna be harder one.. though now I have already made one succeed phonecall.. this can't be so bad either.. it just can't!!

oh.. and there was times in week 26 but I took a time fo 2nd July.. 8.30 am.. I have no idea how I'm gonna explain my mum where I am going that early.. O_o
but I'm sure I'll make some excuse.. now that I have an appointment I'm so not gonna miss this thing..
