I’ve barely been out at all since I had my children 7 years ago. Ive let myself go, and never go out in the evening with friends etc. I do have friends, I’m not lonely, happy to go to child related things etc but on the rare occasion I am invited out with friends I feel so awkward about it. It’s as if I just cannot relax into anything. Then on the way home I feel really anxious and replay conversations in my head. It puts me off going again but really I am trying to sort my life out and ‘live’ again. I wasn’t like this before I had children, I socialised regularly, enjoyed dancing and letting my hair down. The old me wouldn’t recognise the present me. I don’t know what to do about it.
