Hi Sarah,

I was just like you going out for meals, most of the time not even hungry. I didn't go out for a meal for over 6 months, then we were invited to Chinese New Year, didnt want to go but hubby said if I didnt feel good we could come home, anyway went, the anxiety before was worse than going out. I like you had to have a couple of glasses of wine to relax me & I survived the night.
Since then have been out a couple of times for meals, twice with hubby & once with family, still not to comfortable but it is getting easier, dont feel as anxious before hand.
enjoy your night out x

The fact that you have even agreed to go is a great sign! Well done you.

deep breaths, pace yourself, yes a few drinks....but i take some time out a points thru the evening, pop to the loo, give yourself a talking too...tell yourself you can do this! lots of chewing gum or mints to distract and relax!! enjoy it and if you get through it then think of the achievement the next day!!

have fun!
