My dear friend has asked me to be a bridesmaid and I really don't want to be.
I'm very touched, of course, but I just don't feel up to it. I have an anxiety problem and hate doing anything that draws attention to myself - I prefer to keep a low profile. I've felt depressed lately and withdrawn - I certainly don't feel up to being jolly and "out there".
Plus, there is the expense of dress, shoes, hair, nails etc etc, on top of wedding present, train fare and a hotel, as we live at opposite ends of the country, and I am self-employed, so it does have a financial impact on me.
I care about my friend very much and don't want to offend her.
