Yeah. I did that a lot of times before I eventually got through the door. I did have a good chat with the person from the hot line the morning I finally made it through the door, so maybe that gave me that last little shove that I needed.
I agree with the idea of arranging to meet someone so you don't have to walk in the door alone that first time. Believe me. Once you have done it the first time, it does get easier.
