I'm at the age where I've discovered that I don't like being in large groups and standing for a long time panics me as I've had times where I've felt faint, so will now avoid large crowds. Last year I had a chance to go to some mini festivals, but decided quite close that to the time that I really couldn't do it. I felt anxious at the thought of being in a crowd. Being pushed and shoved. I've discussed this this with DH. He hasn't listened and has now 'surprised' me and bought tickets to a big concert in a big city. TBH it's not a band I'm really keen on, but we are going with a group of friends. I said that I hoped we had seats, he explained we are right in the middle, standing. When I explained that I don't like doing that, he has said I'm ungrateful. TBH he doesn't show much empathy at my age with certain symptoms of peri-menopause showing anyway, and I feel caught in a position now. I will have this worry for the next few months leading up to the concert. But I can't seem to get across how anxious this is making me feel.
