need advice for tomorrow

[itsinthehead]

Hi guys! Right my panic attacks have been awful all week and it's my friends birthday night out tomorrow and I'm dreading it. Just started dating a guy I really like but its so hard for me to leave the house. Could someone give me advice for tomorrow night? I'm terrified of fainting and I keep getting the feeling and I feel so sick x

You may feel like you are going to faint but you won't. Have you told the guy you are dating about your anxiety? If so I think he will understand if you need to go out for some fresh air at some point. Try to imagine yourself at the place you are going to before you go, visualise yourself talking to your friends and having fun. It is probably more the anticipation of going out that is making you anxious now and once you get there you may surprise yourself and actually enjoy it. I hope you have a lovely time x
