My Heart Is Racing

[mrsps]

My anxiety is sky high at the moment as I am so nervous about tomorrow. A local group that I belong to on facebook is having a get together tomorrow and I have put my name down as going. It is not like me to go to these sort of things I normally stay away from them but I am forcing myself to go.
I am really shy and have no confidence and worry what people think of me when I know I shouldn't. I also struggle talking to new people as I never know what to talk about.
We are car pooling as the place we are going is about an hours drive away. I am getting a ride with a girl I went to school with 17 years ago who I haven't seen since school. ***nervous***
What have I got myself into!!?? I kinda feel like I want to back out, but if I don't do these things I will be forever lonely.
Its sooooo hard, I wish I didn't give a shit what people think of me.

@mrsps you can do it! Think about the reason why you wanted to go in the first place, it is still right there. Seeing someone from school may be awkward for a few minutes but most likely you two will gel on something. :) What books have you read lately, movies, a show you like, an outside activity, your job, or a hobby. She will probably be at least a touch nervous as well. Give yourself a chance and you may be surprised! *big :hug: *

Ooh I love what WildMermaid has to say and agree really that it's a good idea to go.

I know - don't know why - but I have particlular trouble travelling with people to things much more so even than being at events that make me nervous - I often say that I get travel sick and need to read to reduce symptoms to get me through it

I hope you manage to go, and that you really enjoy yourself xx

Hi Mrs P,

You can do it. One day I will drive over and we could go out for lunch if that is ok with you. You only live 2 hours from me so we should meet up. I have finished most of my stuff for the summer now so am coming into the slower time, and I should get out just like you we tend to hide. Don't worry about what people think of you, who cares it's a small thing in the big picture . As I type that I'm thinking I should listen to myself :) as I'm sitting here tonight I should be at my sisters sons wedding, but just couldn't get myself to go and I feel pretty bad about it but I just couldn't do it. If you can go for it, but I would love to drive over and meet. Let me know via PM what you think.

Sammy

On the same theme, I should have gone out to a party tonight, but my partner couldn't accompany me due to work, and I've not had the confidence to go on my own :oops:

Sounds like a plan *my heart is racing just thinking about it though lol*
Sorry you couldn't make it to the wedding but I know I hard it is! I didn't go to eithers on my best friends sons birthdays last year and felt so bad but I just couldn't make myself go.

I know how you feel!! The facebook group we belong to is a geocaching group (don't know if any of you know about geocaching it is all over the world and so much fun) that both hubby and I belong to and we would normally go together so wouldn't be so much of a problem for me I would still be nervous but not as much am I am right now. But hubby is working so cant go. At first I thought well he cant go so I cant go then I thought actually I can go on my own. Damn crazy woman I am I shouldn't have had that thought lol
*deep breaths* hopefully I survive it ok

Chat Mrs P ?

 

[Teasel]

Sometimes when I've been feeling fairly confident, I can go on my own to things, and felt so proud of myself for it
Today wasn't a very confident day ;)

 

[Sammyiam]

Neither was mine bad day today :(

 

[Teasel]

Sucks eh x

@Sammyiam I hope you're tomorrow shines much brighter! :hug:
