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

    Something that helps me is to change the way I perceive myself in these moments of anxiety. I separate my pre-transition self from my post-transition self and think of them as distinctly different people. Any embarrassing or uncomfortable situations are just experiences of my pre-transition self that doesn’t define my post-transition self. It’s like a temporary feeling of just letting go and not caring about the consequences, because it’s a totally different person dealing with it for me.

    You could also remind yourself that in the grand scheme of the universe, this moment is an insignificant speck of time.
