  • Perhaps try getting your partner or a relative or friend to make the first call, in case you need to leave a message, since you may be emotional and it can be hard to key yourself up to ring for support, then get an answerphone message.

You are not putting them out, you are not being a nuisance and they DO want to help you, so, please, if you need help, ring them.
