I am a lurker here, but need some help. I have suffered from anxiety for several years, but it is managed by avoiding certain situations that I find scary. I got out with a group of friends once every couple of month. I am fine as we always go to the same pub and my friends husband gives us a lift there and back. However, tonight she has pulled out as her husband is ill. I am terrified of having to get a taxi on my own there and back. I have been in a panic since she told me last night. I really want to see my friends as I don’t even leave the house very often.
There is no once to give me a lift and I don’t drive. My other friends live in a different part of town, so can’t taxi share.
I really want to go out as I have been so lonely the past few weeks and this is the one "normal" thing that I do. I am so scared. What can I to ease my fear?
