It's my friend birthday today, and she invite me to go to her house. But right now my anxiety is not good. I really feel nauseous, scared and thinking what I'm going to do there? It's all girls party. I wish my husband can come with me. I told him to drop me off coz I really feel nervous right now..only 3minutes away from our house the house of my new friend, what the heck.. I want him to be with me. I want to take myxanax but side of my brain said no. I want to enjoy my life with my new friends. Why I'm always thinking ahead of time why I can't just enjoy the talking whatever it is or just enjoy the day with out thinking what to do next or what to say next.. It's like I don't want to go out with out him or I don want away from my comfort zone. Please help me right now what to do.. My new friends waiting for me.. I'm thinking to make up story so that I can't go there, sighhhhh

Hi Bik,

I think that making the attempt to go and stay..
If only for a bit...is the right thing to do.

This not only allows you to wish your friend a happy birthday...

...but also pushes your boundaries a little, increasing your comfort zone, which is a step in the right direction.

You can always excuse yourself early if need be and have your husband come get you...

...but I bet you end up having a great time, and forgetting your anxiety for the evening.:) (use your coping skills!)

Best wishes, and let us know how it goes.

S.C.

Bik, go, take half a xanax now and the other half after you depart, but go this is a baby step and a way for
you to get back to your old self, Peace
