Give yourself permission to sob on the phone. Loudly. From the time you pick up til the time you hang up. Take as many attempts as you need to get words out.
Whoever's on the other end, they're the ones who've refused text-based accommodations. You don't have to hide from them what they're doing to you, even if it's just a low level employee.
Just as screaming helps on a roller coaster - sobbing helps get through a phone call.

@callisto back when I used to cry every morning before going to work, I had no shame, if someone called me before I left for work in the morning if I would answer sobbing or not.
The best was when it wasn’t a friend but some random business calling. They would ask me if I was OK and I would say no and they would just hang up. Why call me if you’re just going to hang up? Wtf lol they had the audacity to call me before 9 AM but not enough audacity to keep talking after I answer the question they ask?
