Default A New Approach to coping.

This worked for me, but may not for you.

If you are sick of getting phone calls, and getting to the point where you don't answer the phone anymore. Turn it around.

Answer the phone, answer the security questions and just say to them " You are no longer allowed to contact me on this phone number, any further communication is to be done by letter."

Ask them if they understood what you said and as soon as they agree hang up.

If you are getting too down about it, please go to you doctor, they can help in so many ways from medications down to stress management groups.

This has helped me a great deal, although some don't listen you may have to tell them twice.

It gets too much when they ring you at 10.30 on a Sunday morning. The only answer they ever got off me on a Sunday was, I work (ed) 5 days a week on different shifts. The weekend is mine you will not contact me on a weekend again.

I still get letters but thats another thread.

Colin.

I've started saying 'You've already had my 'final response'' and then listen in silence until they hang up.
