Hi all,
So I have an old high school friends Shower this weekend and I am feeling a bit overwhelmed and anxious about going. We keep in touch once a month, we shot each other a text to see how we're doing and that's it. The person hosting the shower was a best friend of mine and we grew apart, I still dule over the lost friendship and I find it akward to go. I also feel like it would be rude not to go when I was acctually included. I don't know what to expect if I go. Any suggestions?
Hello Alex,
I am actually facing a similar situation . My friend is getting married next wik and since a while i haven't seen a lot of my friends because of this anxiety thing. It's been 7 months now and friends whom i was seeing regularly , i somehow stopped doing so. And now , one is geeting married next wik and i think it would hard not to go and i am a bit anxious about what will happen or not there.
If i choose not go im sure they will feel very bad and if i go im not sure what can i expect So , i think we need to try to clear our mind and think that nothing will happen as it is only anxiety , we will not die by going there , aren't we?
Besides , it might change our mind by seeing friends whom we haven't seen a long time!! We can actually feel better!
I think you're right. We let our minds run to much and it causes us to over think and over react. I think I'm going to make an appearance for a bit scope scene and suck it up. Thanks for your input!
Yeah , we tend to overthink and live in something which is created by our mind which will perhaps never happen and then we freak out!
If something happens there , like , heart racing or dizziness , just think that it will pass , it always does, try deep breathing and calm the mind
You can also engage yourself in a conversation with a friend or if it's too bad , you can always go outside or in a place where there is not much people and breathe properly
