Big challenge...going out tonight

[Annie0904]

I have been doing really well lately going out through the day but have never been out on evening for over a year now. My friend is hosting a charity evening in her home and has invited me. I am getting really anxious about it and my stomach is already churning. If it was day time it probably wouldn't even be bothering me :doh: I know I can escape if I need to but still worrying especially as I don't know everyone who is going. I am determined to do it though. Wish me luck :scared15:

Good luck Annie. :bighug1:

I'm sure you'll have a lovely evening.

Good luck-just relax and go for it and you will have a fabulous evening.

You are bound to feel nervous and anxious as you haven't done it for so long but just keeping telling yourself that it is only anxiety. I bet you will start to feel great almost as soon as you get there! :hugs:

[Annie0904]

Thanks Mark and Kelly. You are right Kelly, it is usually the anticipation of doing something that makes you feel more anxious that is why I am determined to do it. It is so cold and raining tonight too and that makes me want to stay at home even more!

The best of luck and hope you enjoy the evening.

[Annie0904]

Thank you flori...I will report back when I get home.

Good luck Annie.

I'll leave you with a quote from Paulo Coehlo;

"The boat is safer anchored anchored at the port; but that is not the purpose of a boat."

:)

[Annie0904]

I love the quote...Thank you :D

The anticipatory anxiety is always worse than the event - I hope it all goes well and that you enjoy yourself. Let us all know how you get on.

I've had my fingers and toes crossed all evening for you, Annie,
but now I'm thinking that they might stick like it.
Here's to hoping it went ok.....

:grouphug::cloud9::grouphug::cloud9::grouphug::clo ud9::grouphug::cloud9:

What's up with my "cloud9's" not working then???

[Annie0904]

I'm back home :D I only stayed 2 hours but my friend knew that I would probably leave early. I was fine and even chatted to the people I didn't know. I was starting to feel very tired though. I think even when you are only slightly anxious it really takes it out of you.
While I was out my naughty cat had knocked over a vase of roses and my naughty hubby hadn't cleaned the water up properly! :D

[Ingenious]

Well done Annie that's great to hear. Now go and sort your hubby out!!!

[Annie0904]

Haha Yes I think I need to! :D

[Tessar]

Ohhhh poor hubby, I think that's probably what I am like.....:lac::lac:

Well done Annie, here is your prize for being brave.......

[Annie0904]

Thank you lizzie and Pancho. Lizzie I am please you enjoyed the evening. x

[flori]

Annie,
Glad you enjoyed your night out, even if it was only a couple of hours. Socializing can be a major event for people like us. Well done.

[Annie0904]

I am slowly getting out more now...an even bigger challenge for me will be the end of this month when we go to Croatia on holiday.

[NE21 worrier]

Hello Annie,

Glad you enjoyed your night out! Will you be watching the match this evening? :winks:

[Magic]

Well done Annie. It's nice to get out if you can manage it.xx
We have been invited to a wedding in June, and for the first time I am trying not to get worked up about it. The reason being there will be none of my hubby relatives there.xx
