Hi Keith,

Do you use Rescue Remedy at all? Could be an easy and effective help.

I understand that you are scared - but which bits scares you most ?

Real tangible bits like 'I'm am terrified of the dog at Aunt Alices'
or anticipatory possibly imagined bits like 'what if I faint and have to be dragged out in a heap '?

Your anxiety is the human representation of the pictures that you paint using your many vivid colours of revolving and reoccurring thoughts.
How big is your gallery ?

hi keith,

happy birthday by the way. i know how you feel. social occasions are so hard for me. i cant face going out socially anymore. so i do know where your coming from.

on the positive side, during the year i went out maybe 3 times. i was so worked up. but some of them wher family occasions and in my mind i wanted to be ther but my body wouldnt let me. the worry. but i forced myself to go. i said to myself il go and if i feel that bad il just come home. i tried not to put so much pressur on myself as my family understood. it ended up i stayed a couple of hours. and i felt good for going.

its getting ther that is the main worry. if you really cant face it, please tell your daughter. she will understand. and dont feel guilty for not going. my advice is try it. thinking of you keith. let is know what happens.

take care.xxx
