That phone ringing is a trigger for you, when you are on that phone you are a different person than you normally would be, we all do that, I have to act all cheerful when I pick up the phone at work and most of the time i am just acting the part!. So after while it's normal to feel a little anxious or even panicky when you have to act like something your not!. I can't tell you that you have to eliminate your stress because that's not realistic!. Life is full of stress and you can't make it all go away!. But what you can do is learn how to manage your stress instead of your stress managing you!. Learn some deep breathing techniques, and if possible get a different phone that allows you to choose a different ring, make it a nice mellow sound!. I know this sound superficial but it works beleive me!. You are associating the sound of the telephone ringing with putting on a mask that you don't want to put on!. By changing the ring on the phone you automatically eliminate that trigger!. Of course over time if you don't get a handle on your stressers this new ring will lose it's affectivness and you will need to find yet another ring tone!. After you change the ring on your phone, begin talking with a friend or your GF about what's bothering you!. No man is meant to do this alone!. No man is an island, and when we isolate our problems from those who love us the most, we are creating a more stressful enviroment for ourselves!. Allow your self an outlet, sit your GF down and tell her what' on your mind, and give her a list of things that she may be able to do to help you out!. You can't just ask her to help you because chances are she isn't going to know what you need!. So be very clear as to what you want from her!.
Try to eliminate as much un needed stress as possible!. Are you trying to play hero to everyone around you!. Are you constantly trying to save everyone from their own problems!? If so this can cause alot of stress and anxiety on your part!. You cannot be expected to do it all, and be there for everyone else!. Give yourself some credit for what you already do and let go of the stuff that you expect yourself to do!. Your friends and family will never be able to handle their own problems if you keep fixing them for them!.
Now it's just my assumption that that's what your stress is from, it may not be the case but you seem to worry about everyone else!. Worry about yourself, without taking care of your wellbeing first you are going to be of no help to anyone else!.

My phone phobia of my social anxiety began in just this same way!. I did take my job seriously and wanted to do a good job because others depended heavily on me!. It was too much stress!. I already had problems with anxiety so I was ripe to develop the phobia!.
If you can, look for something else to do!. If this continues, talk to a professional about it!. Waiting to get help only makes it worse!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

stress shows itself in many ways!. maybe you are just feeling it and when the phone rings, it makes you feel the need to be "on" and it's not how you feel!. Maybe try talking to people and see how they feel, esp your girlfriend and familyWww@Answer-Health@Com
