I used to do that, with the anxiety and the not answering the phone and just ignoring letters and appointments and stuff in the hope that somehow, it'll all just be ok. If you can force yourself to deal with small, inconsequential things it gradually gets easier, and then things that're a bit bigger and more important aren't quite as hard to deal with any more. And bit by bit, it becomes easier to cope with all the shit that comes with "normal," everyday life.
i am the same way. anxiety makes me avoid things i really should be taking care of in my life. for example, dealing with submitting the transcripts from last year for the last 3 credits i need to have a degree. i just freak out everytime i think about it. i was going to an unemployment agency around here too but ive missed some appointments so now i'm wicked embarrassed and can hardly stand to think about making new ones. i know everything is getting worse the more i put it off but does it make me suck it up and handle shit? no. it just makes me want to take a nap and wake up thinking about something else.
