Nervous Totally

[Zemi]

I kind of committed to a social event tomorrow and now I'm panicking. Including panicking about possibly panicking when I'm there surrounded by people I don't know. I know I need to meet people outside of work and in some ways, tiny ways, I want to. Just totally nervous - and working up to beyond nervous and wanting to back out, but won't. Social anxiety skyrocketing though. I wish this was easier.

Dear Zemi, I hope and pray for you you will have a much better time than you anticipate, fun, a change of scenery and a break from the ptsd.
It's not a baby step but a large step, and you will do fine. -Really you will.

Zemi, you have a huge amount of courage. I too hope the event turns out better than you expect and you can have some fun. Way to push through the nerves, proud of you!

Hi Junebug and Pottershand, thanks so much for responding, it's really appreciated. It went ok as well and better than expected :) I let myself down in several ways of course, but it was a start.

Zemi, please look at how great you did, not what or where you think you were lacking.

Baby steps, I think you are likely being hard on yourself, because you should be thinking:
"Good for me :tup:"

Way to go :)

panicking about possibly panicking

Zemi - I do that too!

Good Luck.

Take care. Heather

You did it, remember and celebrate the good bits. The rest doesn't matter, I'd bet no-one noticed anything. You did it. Well done. :)

That's so great that you're doing this! I really admire people who are able to face their fears for the good of their health. I hope everything went well for you today! Even if you had a little panic attack, it's still a step in the right direction! :D

Thanks a lot :)

Heather it's weird but it helps just knowing I'm not the only one who panics about panicking!
