anxiety about party

[Theasylumsystem]

tonight ( in like an hour) me and my service dog have to go to a party. This is our first outing together in over a year. we only really know two people who are going and my heart feelings like it's gonna beat out of my chest. I'm so worried that my dog isn't ready and that he's still too reactive. I'm scared that I'm gonna lose control and have a breakdown in front of everyone. It's supposed to be at an arcade so i know it's gonna be so f*cking loud and I'm just so f*cking scared that I want to cancel but i want to be there for my friend

party. This is our first outing together in over a year.

So it’s a win/win.

i ended up staying for three hours. my anxiety had built this party up to be some huge monster and it went fine. It was sensory f*cking overload but my dog did f*cking amazing. I'm so incredibly proud of him and how far he's come in his training. thank you for letting me vent when i was panicking

I’m glad it ended up going well for you! And your dog!

Sorry! I must have deleted half my post & not caught it.

I was trying to say it’s a win/win, as it’s your first time out… because even if you leave immediately? It’s a start.

Looks like you stayed for quite some time, though!
