I just wanted to share an achievement :blush:
Today has been nothing but extreme anxiety and panic attacks. I was due to have dinner with my boyfriends parents - for the first time - today and also have a maths lesson with his dad afterwards.
Up until 5.30pm I was sure as hell I wasn't going to go. But at 6pm, I went; feeling faint, sick, shaking, sweating, near crying... I think it was the thought of letting them down that made me go. It meant so much to them.
It was worth it. Nothing bad happened and the anxiety symptoms subsided as the evening went on. Of course, now I am totally exhausted and emotional but this is a huge step... I think?
Maybe there is hope after-all? :yesyes:
