Have name-changed for this as anyone inclined to AS could find potentially identifying information but I am a long standing poster - Paul the spray-painted pigeon, wedding in Maui etc.
I work FT but am currently signed off with stress and exhaustion. Last year I bought tickets for DH and I to see a stand up comedian. That gig takes place one night next week. Part of me thinks a couple of hours laughing at jokes would do me the power of good, OTOH I still have a bit of a "if you're not well enough for school you can't play out" mentality and I suppose I'm a bit nervous about being spotted by a colleague and having it spread around the office that I can't be that bad etc.
It wouldn't be a full on night out with food and drink (I can't drink anyway thanks to the meds I'm on), it would literally be going to the theatre and straight home afterwards. Apart from anything else I'm physically not up to doing more than that at the minute.
AIBU to consider it? I'm genuinely torn.
(I'm about to get ready and head out to a counselling appointment so I will be disappearing for a couple of hours but will catch up with any replies afterwards. TIA)
