Made a phone call today instead of texting
It was just to book a dentist appointment. Took me twenty minutes of staring at my phone before I dialled. But I did it. My voice was shaky and I forgot to ask about parking. But I did it.

The forgetting to ask about parking part made me smile – not because it's funny, but because that's so exactly what happens when all your energy goes into just making the call. The important thing is you did it. The parking info can come later.
A dentist appointment phone call might sound small to some people but we all know it's not. You did something your anxiety told you that you couldn't do, and that matters so much. Celebrate this one!
I've been doing the same thing – avoiding calls and just texting instead. You've inspired me to try calling the optician this week. If you can do the dentist, I can do the optician.
