Meps I’m so glad you are felling better and that you got to enjoy at least part of Burning Man. It was so wonderful to have you and Barry as guests on the Selkie. Wish we’d had a chance to get in some sailing. Next time, eh?

I’ve been battling telephone anxiety for the last few years myself. I catch myself going to great lengths to put off or work around having to call someone on the phone. What’s weird is that I have no problem answering the phone, just calling out. It makes absolutely no sense, but it’s there nonetheless.

I have behaved oddly more than a few times myself, and for a related reason. PTSD leads to similar behaviors, and onlookers are not likely to understand. My mind was in a different time and place from my body. It has been a long time since I had serious outward symptoms, but those are some very memorable moments.

Thanks for being so open about what you have been going through! I am dealing with anxiety right now, some of it rational and some of it not. I think the more open we are about it, the more healing can happen.
