Curious if y’all have any tips in getting enough courage to make a phone call to set up an appointment for hrt? I got my anxiety resolved for the mostpart recently but I’m still trying to find that last bit to actually manage to make the call

There are two things that helped me to get over the hurdle. The first is something that applies for anything I’m scared of but I logically know is safe. I know that if I do it and don’t like it or it’s really awkward, I still won’t regret doing it. But if I don’t do it, I know I’ll regret it afterwards.

The second is to set up to make the phone call and seriously consider it, even if you don’t end up calling that day. It will’s be easier the next time. Especially since there’s a chance you get an answering machine or hold music and need to call again later.
