Please help, I've been panicking all day...
I have this friend who recently moved 200 miles away. We're pretty close. She understands my anxiety a lot and she has similar problems. Before she left she told me I could always come and visit.
So I suggested that I visit before I start uni in September. She said yes and it's all planned. But now I'm having severe anxiety about it. I can't concentrate on anything else. I desperately want to go and see her (mainly for fear of not being able to maintain the friendship, yay social anxiety) but it just seems so impossible. The last time I slept away from home (in somewhere other than a hotel, by myself) I was so sick with anxiety I didn't eat the entire time.
My friend will totally understand, which makes it easier. But I feel like such a failure. I'm crying uncontrollably about this right now, and that's definitely a warning sign that this is too much to handle at the moment.
I know I'm going to feel absoloutely terrible about myself but I don't think it's worth the anxiety.
