I'm not going to cry. Crying isn't helpful right now.

Breathe. What do you need to do.

(Boring self-guidance stuff under the cut. It helps me, I have ADHD and Anxiety, shush)

I need to 'do a medical zoom call appointment'

What I need to achieve that is:

Headset with mic that works

Video cam

Phone/Laptop/PC

Clothes -> be NOT naked

To not look like a shamble

Quiet location

Non-messy background

Good lighting

Paper with notes written of what I want to say/ask

Paper with space for new notes

Pen or pencil

To not be so nervous, fight/flight/fawn/freeze

And I need this sorted within 1 hour and 30 minutes.

Could also be worthwhile doing a 'test' zoom call to check mic, cam, volume levels.

Get clothes on and make yourself look presentable

Get written notes and paper and pen

Drink water, go to the toilet, have a snack if able to eat

Gather and set up technical side of things

Do a test zoom to check things out

Positive self talk, maybe write a little mantra, or a symbol to focus on to find my inner calm.

Have the zoom meeting

Cry! Crying is allowed AFTER the meeting.
