Today is not an abnormal day for phone calls. Recently mom has been calling a little less but for the last year or maybe even longer some days she just calls and calls and calls.
Because of the nature of being a therapist I can’t answer while I’m working. So she just keeps calling. Today she mostly wanting to ask/tell me about the garbage since it’s garbage night. I had actually taken out the cans when I was last there so they’d be set for today, but even though the task was technically done, the anxiety remained.
The calls used to worry me when I would see I had missed so many, but I’ve come to experience that so far they are almost never urgent- despite the frequency.
Today mom told me she knows she shouldn’t just call repeatedly but that she worries I am not getting them, so she just keeps trying! Not pictured are the 5 additional calls I got via Facebook messenger!
