Just take a deep breath and say hello. If anything becomes to tense, tell them you have to go or someone stoped by your house and you will email them later and say goodbye. Don't let them say well call me back, act like you did not hear them and say goodbye. Even if it is the second sentence in the conversation, at least you called and will contact them later...
I know this is not the normal way to deal with phone calls, but when I am really depressed this is what I have to do... It is a way of showing them that they mean something, but not causeing panic attacks....
I know I will get flogged for saying the above... ohh well...
> I'm the one full of dread of course! I have to call someone this afternoon that I've never spoken to before and I just hate doing this kind of thing. I've tried to keep the discussions confined to email, but I have to call :(
