Hey guys,

I am going to my Sister's flat tomorrow night for a Halloween party. She lives in the Capital nearly 2 hours away from me. I have to take a bus journey to get there. Anyways I thought I was alright with going but I don't think I am. I have been a bit ill tonight. I am leaving 5pm tomorrow and staying overnight. I know I will be fine by the time I get there, it's the getting there that's the problem.

I am unsure if I should take my meds tomorrow night or miss them just for Saturday night as I will be drinking alcohol. I am worried and anxious and nervous and every other emotions you can think of. I even have a costume which should make me happy about going... but!!

I understand, I was invited to a party last month and it took me ages to decide, My anxiety was so high, I went in the end and enjoyed it. I would see how you feel tomorrow maybe? If you feel ill it is not worth going

Thanks Buttercup,

I am gonna have to go as well I will let my Sister down and don't want to do that. May need to take an as required med before I go on bus though lol! I am missing a party tonight too cause of anxieties. I just can't stomach night's out anymore.... what is wrong with me I use to the 1st one up for night's out now I barely go out at night

hope the party went well.
Anxiety sucks, I'm there at the moment so I really feel for you.

I have def felt what you have been feeling. I've got into fights with friends over not going to events because I am so anxious.
It's a horrible feeling

I am so feeling you, I alwAys was the life if the party. Now I don't know where it went!! It's hard for me to sometimes come out my front door for air.. yet I am on meds and know I will get better! I have had panic attack due sine time growing up but just in the past month has been a new turn.. chest pains, tightness in my neck, wanting to flee from situations, weakness, fast heart beat, cold chill, feeling like I'm coming out if myself. The worse is what I call it.. hope my post helps identify symptoms

Thanks guys,

I did manage the party and it was fine. The bus ride home I was really anxious but I just texted a bunch of people throughout the journey so it was fine. Thank you guys

Well, the holidays are soon approaching as are the parties. Of which I will be going to none.
Didn't go to husbands work party last year cause I had an abscessed tooth, but wouldn't have gone anyway.
Won't go this year either, too many people, most come for the food... He works at a restaurant.
Other thing is I think he'd rather go alone anyway, that in itself causes me anxiety.
