One thing I have trouble with is making plans.

For example. Yesterday we had my middle son's birthday party. We always go to the same place, Chuck E Cheese. So that part is easy. Next comes inviting people. I have trouble with this. Part of me thinks "they already know they are invited." But the other part of me thinks "I need to tell them when and what times." We always invite the same people.

Okay, so it comes to telling the people what day and what time. I have trouble with this. I have low to moderate anxiety about telling them. I have trouble deciding the day. I procrastinate. This year I don't remember how we decided the day, except it was 2 days after pay day which was part of it. Then to decide the time. waited all the way up until Saturday to decide. Finally my mother-in-law helped me by suggestion I call to ask when it is less busy on Sunday. So she said around 4 p.m it is less busy, but then my husband said wait until 6 p.m. so that when we leave the weather is cool. With help, that is good for me to have that help.

Now... we needed to get the cupcakes for the party. I had a great deal of anxiety about this. Finally at 4 p.m. we went. (Me and my middle son.) He picked them out. But I procrastinated until then...

Why does making plans make me so nervous? Does any one else have that problem. I always have this problem. When my husband helps or makes suggestions I do better. But left on my own I struggle internally to get it done, to the point that often I don't do them.
