Hi All
After not socialising for nearly a year, due to panic, depression, GAD, me and my husband were invited out for an Indian meal to celebrate one of his friends 40th, as I have been feeling a little better recently I decided to go for it, I could always leave if the panic became unbearable!!!!
What my husband had forgotten to tell me that there would be about 25 of us, and I would only know 2 of them. So after two previous sleepless nights of umming and arring about going we met up in the pub next door, where I was introduced to 23 new people!!!!!! My brain was saying what the hell are you doing here get out now!!!!!, but part of me wanted to see it through so off we went for the meal, I'm not saying it was the most enjoyable experience, but I managed to stay for the full 2 hours, eat, go onto a pub afterwards and I didn't drink.:yesyes:
I am so pleased I did it it has given me such a boost, so anybody out there who is umming and arring over doing something, just do it, it is worth it.
