Today I left my house without any anti-anxiety meds at all before hand. I had them with me, in case, but I made it through dinner with the family at a restaurant without taking the meds! Toward the end of dinner, I was getting pretty anxious and feeling very self-conscious. I started wishing I had not come out at all because the strangers were all around me and I felt trapped. Even so, I made it out and through dinner.
