I think that you have been giving some very good advice, the only thing that I can add is it helps me to just dial the number and make the call, instead of stressing about it, I have to just get it over with.
It was so hard to me to reach out to a doctor that I actually made the appointment to talk about a physical problem and kind of threw in my mental stuff once I was in there, my doctor didn't much care for this, so that is probably not the best way to approach the issue. Good luck
