[Helpmehelpmyself123]

Been though some tough shit the last 17 months !
Tomorrow I have a family birthday meal to attend . Feeling so anxious and nervous .I’ve barely left the house due to anxiety and depression. Please tell me I can do it .xx

You absolutely can do it but be gentle with yourself. Why not turn up early so that you ease yourself in with a few people? Explain to your host how you feel.

Can you arrange to arrive with someone else?

I have someone to go with but it means going by bus and train . I’m just dreading it because of anxiety x
