Just a little worried...

On thursday evening im going out with all my work friends, im slightly worried about feeling n* or getting panicy, can anyway think of any tips or give me any advice?

Hi Woodsy, I tend to drink in these situations!! Nothing excessive obviously, just a couple to relax me. Also, another trick of mine is to have my mobile in my pocket. If I'm feeling the panic starting to rise, I pretend my phone has just vibrated and that I've received a text - then I say 'hold on, got to call my mum/sister/best friend etc. This gives me a chance to go somewhere quiet and try and calm down. If that still doesn't work, I pretend there was some crisis and I have to leave. Lies, lies, lies, I know, but sometimes it's the easiest way....!


Not sure if this will help, but I'm sure you'll have a good time. Often the thought of going out is worse than the event itself. Have fun!

I go this weekend for my husbands office party and I get this way every single year where I don't want to go and I get N* and D* etc. I must say that I hate that since once I am there I am fine and feel good. I have no clue how or why that happens, but it does. Just know that you can leave whenever you want and that in a few hours it will be over and that you will be back in your safe place. Know that like SUZE said, you can always tell a small tale and slide out for a minute. Once you are there, you will be fine....it's that anitcipation that causes so much stress.


Have fun and enjoy being out!!!
