6:30 PM Although I have been feeling good lately, I started coming down somewhat today.   Next Monday will be the last time that my anxiety group is going to meet.  It is being shut down because of a lack of attendance.  I really feel that this group has helped me a lot, and I am going to miss the strong support that I received from its members.   Today I saw my psychologist who diagnosed another problem I have without my even asking her about it.  I have had a strong fear of using the telephone for about fifty years.  I use it if I absolutely have to, but really have to force myself hard.  My psychologist says this is a form of PTSD.   This diagnosis has really shocked me since I already have PTSD because of sexual abuse.  I did not know that you could have more than one form of PTSD at the same time you have another.  I am confused by this.   There is no medicine I can take to solve this problem.  The only way to resolve it is through practice and that comes through making phone calls.  I do not want to do that, but was told that I need to start doing it immediately.   My brother has the same fear, but I do not know if he has ever gotten the same diagnosis.  I must remember to ask him during our next e-mail or conversation.   Quotes of Attitude:   “Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.”  Buddha
