Going out with work tonight.... whats the worst that could happen?!

[fairyclairy]

Well, im off out in less than an hour and im soooooooo scared!!

Im going for a Chinese with work for someones leaving do and im totally freeking out!

Firstly, because we're going out to eat.... will i be sick after the meal? Faint before the meal because iv not eaten for a few hours?

And secondly, because im going out the house!! What if i panic?? What if i need to leave.... i wouldnt leave because id make myself stay, but that would make me feel trapped and make me feel worse!

Sooo much is running through my mind and i already feel panicky, how on earth am i going to do it?! What if its really hot in there and i pass out??

Im just trying to calm down but its too hard... i really dont want to go but i cant back out now!

Reassurance is needed guys if possible... Should i go? Cancel?
For my own good i should make myself go.... but to make myself feel better i should cancel!

Head is so messed up with panic... wish i could be like everyone else and just get ready and go without a second thought! xx

I was in same sort of predicament coupla weeks ago. Unlike you I gave into my anx and stayed in though. I'm really glad you went and had a good night out of it even though your anx was tellin you not to go, maybe next time I can do the same! :D xx

Well done on going out.

try and remember it is the anticipation that is the worst and not the event itself.

Glad you had a good time
