Hi Susan ~
I want you to know you are not alone in making phone calls. I work for a therapist and there are several clients who call very frequently to leave full length voice make messages just to check in & feel connected. And when I say frequently, I mean very frequently like 10 - 20 times per week. Eventually the calls get addressed in therapy ... in a very gentle way and sometimes they taper off but there generally is a waxing and waning. We also get a lot of hang up calls.
Does distraction work for you? Can you rent lots of movies, read books, do crossword puzzles, buy magazines, anything to give yourself a break from your longing?
I know I'm not a familiar "face" here at babble but I do read a lot of the posts. People just tend to speak more eloquently than I. I also am in the weird position of not only seeing a therapist, but also working for one (totally seperate deals).
Good luck!
Kim
