Phobia for phone calls

Nomakhwezi March 23rd, 2021

It is so hard for me to answer phone calls especially my mobile phone. I become extremely scared and get panick attacks at just the sound of my cell phone ring. How can I cope better with this phobia?

I've felt that way as well and I know how frightening it can be. However, I don't have that problem anymore which only shows that it will change for you as well❤️

Well I posted another comment below on what I advise you to do because it's what I did. I still get scared when I get waken up by a phonecall but in order to overcome your fear you've got to face it❤️

I advise you to put some kind of calming ringtone and turn the vibration off. Turn the volume to low or even silence it whenever u feel like it. U just have to check it often. And keep in mind that the best way of getting rid of fears is facing them

Just a suggestion, although I don’t know your circumstances as in if they are personal or work phone calls. If it’s for personal calls, and maybe at times even when it’s work related, is there anyway you can ask whoever is calling to let you know ahead of time by text so you can mentally prepare? That way, you can do some calming exercises before you know the call is going to come in and it may relax you. Hope that helps and I hope you find what works best for you. Good luck! :)
