Too much to post...just don't want to see anyone, if that makes sense, and I don't mean in a light way, but an extreme anxiety.

That makes perfect sense to me! I know the feeling well. I always dread the holidays. For Turkey Day, I usually have had a Hungry Man frozen turkey dinner, and I'm a woman. Joke there. This year, I will have a T-dinner delivered to my apt. by somebody who is, I guess, charitable, and does this for many people every year. I live in a senior apt. complex and that's why. All I had to do was sign up for it. Will get a frozen dinner just in case he doesn't show up.
You could TRY to get together something nice to wear, really, probably you could do this from among your clothing if you really look, something nice and simple. And you could make a strong attempt to go. If you really do not want to go, just stay home and have a special meal just for YOU, watch special programs on TV, play music, read something good, relax. There will always be another time when you can go and you also feel like going.
