When I leave my cell phone on the night stand, I feel out of touch all day. When one of my kids removes the car charger from the car and my battery dies on the way home from work, like today, my anxiety level increases. I feel disconnected.
We are so accustomed to doing things when we want and wherever we want that, when we can’t, it’s jarring.
Have you felt this way before?

Yes! I can’t focus if I don’t have my phone nearby because I worry someone will call me from my daughter’s school and I won’t be able to get the call. She has food allergies so I constantly worry she will be exposed and have a reaction.
Today I got a call from my daughter’s after-school theater class saying she had fallen and cut her forehead. I rushed to the theater and found she had a huge gash that was bleeding pretty badly. Had I not had my phone with me, she would have likely sat there for another 30 minutes before I would have come to get her at the end of class. What did parents do before mobile phones? I’d be a nervous wreck without mine!

yes-all the time-my cellphone is definitely my life line.
