Social anxiety & can’t sleep

Argh I’m suffering really bad anxiety. Have a event later today (Sunday) and am overwhelmed. I bought a new outfit but scared I will look like a clown. My gifts might be rubbish and I’ve not written the gift bags. Not sure I will have enough time to get exact. DD at my home with some friends so I am kind of hosting & have a busy work day Monday.

too much stress. Help!

Also yesterday I replied to a work email with “reply all” by mistake and now everyone will read it. I made some stupid mistakes in the email.

just want to curl up in a corner. Argh.

Everything feels worse in the middle of the night!
The outfit you chose for today - you chose it for a reason and when you tried it on you liked it, I assume? You will look lovely i'm sure, and honestly, i'm not sure how much people care about what others wear! Would you look at someone and think "they look like a clown!" If it was clear they'd made an effort to look nice?

What's the occasion? Can you use chatgpt to help write the gift cards?

Anxiety is awful. But night time anxiety is even worse. I hope you manage to get some sleep.

Middle of the night anxiety is the worst! I actually promise no one will think you look like a clown at all and it will pass off swimmingly.
I feel anxious as we entertained and i got confused so kept asking a driver if they wanted more drink. I must have seemed so annoying but it wasn’t intentional. It’s still making me feel a bit anxious though!

Can you get up and read a book with a cup if tea for a bit?

Agree with posters above.

I'm in a hotel and contemplating getting up for a biscuit...I'm 26 weeks pregnant in my defense!

Thank you. For a bit of sleep but not much. It’s like my brain won’t turn off. Must put phone away. Overwhelming . Just need to get through the day bit by bit.

How are you doing, OP?

Can you recall the email?
