I recently had to go to an urgent care clinic and going into this unfamiliar environment made me extremely anxious, but I did it! I was prescribed antibiotics, so I had to go get my prescription filled at a pharmacy one day later. This was going to be my first time ever going and getting a prescription filled at Walgreens, so I became extremely nervous again. After hyping myself up for a few hours and Googling what I was supposed to say and do, I did it! It was so much easier than I thought it would be. 

I could have asked someone in my family about what to say and do at a pharmacy in order to get the medication that was prescribed to me by my doctor, but they would have just given me a simple answer which wouldn't have been enough for me. Usually before I go somewhere for the first time, I literally need to read step-by-step instruction manual explaining what I am supposed to say and who I am supposed to approach and where they are located. Otherwise I will be an anxious, confused, overthinking mess. After I've been somewhere a few times, the anxiety vanishes and I can act and feel like a "regular" human lol.
