Hi! I’ve had anxiety for pretty much my whole life and one thing that holds me back has been phone calls— yes I’ve done all the work to be able to make phone calls. In school I even had to make one phone call every single day lol...but nope still extremely hard (if not impossible some days!) 

I have a neighbor who is deaf and I’d been learning to sign with them for years and just recently learned about “TTY Devices” they allow you to essentially text during a phone call. Iphones (and I believe androids have a built in setting) and most places (esp big companies) have a specific number to call when using TTY or there is a type of “middle man” number for places that don’t have TTY capabilities. So happy I just opened up a door for myself and wanted to share in hopes it helps someone else!!
