I get startled then sad when my phone rings. It's always either just my mother who I see every day anyway, or it's a wrong number.

My heart sinks when the phone rings most of the time, I just can't be bothered to speak to anyone, well by anyone I mean my parents, I prefer to send an email or text to re assure them I am still alive etc. Everyone else has given up phoning me because they know it's unlikely I will pick up.

Before a friendship I had got all kinds of weird and uncomfortable, I used to LOVE the phone. My friend and I would text each other off and on almost all day, chat online for at least 40 minutes each night, and sometimes he would even call me to talk. It was great. Now that the friendship is pretty much ruined...I am afraid to answer the phone or even look for texts or emails. I used to get texts and emails from my other friend all the time too that I would look forward to getting. But she just stopped speaking to me entirely. Now I associate the phone with emotional pain and would rather just leave the thing turned off. I know that's stupid...esp since I pay for it...but I just associate a ringing phone or a text message or email light with bad things now...so I start to sweat.

Yes, always. I get startled and jump at any little sound whether or not I am expecting it. The phone ringing, the toaster, the dog barking. Everything startles me and makes me jump! I wonder if it has anything to do with just being a nervous person?
