Social Anxiety

[Dylansmum]

Does anyone else worry when they've been on a night out or to a social occasion about how they behaved and what other people will be thinking of them?

I went out on the works Christmas party on Friday night and got quite drunk and was dancing and chatting to everyone, and now I'm really worrying about what everyone thinks of me and if I've shown myself up. I'm really worried about going into work on Monday! What will everyone say!?!? Help!!

Does anyone else feel like this or am I going mad???

Thanks

Hi Sarah,

That is how I feel after ever night out hun lol. And I always say or do something silly and get reminded about it for weeks on end. I bet all your work colleages are thinking the same as you right now hun.

Take Care

Thank you for your replies. I really appreciate them and they made me feel lots better.

Everything was fine when I went back to work so really I was worrying for nothing!!

Hi All,
Having a bit of a bad time at the mo. Had a good time with family over xmas. But now getting back to normal at home and i feel my anxiety is comin back with a big impact! I feel i need to get out of the house but i can`t! I have apps in the week and i really don`t want to go! I know i need to and it will be worthwhile over all! Grr
Its a dilemma and a half. I struggle to talk to other people esp in the shared house i live in.. I can speak the odd word and generally have to leave the room. [V]
I end up going to my own room feeling angry with myself!! The only time i feel comfortable is when i am with friends on a Wed - As they come over for the day (Living so far away from me etc) Or when i am on here typing away! [8D]
Why do i have to feel like this? I hate it...
At the mo i am doing a CBT course and it does help, but when it comes to the actual problem i feel i am going around in circles!! Grr
I understand we all have our ups and downs! But why can`t i go up more than down?!! [V]

Sorry that i am going on.. I just need to get it off my chest!!
Thanks for listening Hope someone may be able to give me some advise?

rather than focus on the symptom the apparent social phobia, recognise that this is your u/c minds way of artfully linking back to some originating event, feeling or experience.

Your mind will choose the path of least resistance, so there's merit in attempting to understand why your mind is doing this FOR you.

Yes FOR you, there will be a gain from this. Kookie I know, but true
