I'm sorry you're so anxious. Is there anything you can do to relieve that anxiety? I am expected at a holiday party myself and I'm very anxious about it. My T was telling me that I should envision and expose myself in my mind to the things that cause me anxiety. For example if I say the wrong thing or someone doesn't like me. Then feel that anxiety and uncomfortableness, familiarize myself with it. Then it will be easier to handle the day of.
