Have to go out in a while and am so anxious feel like I'm going to die!

[memoo]

Don't know why I'm in such a state about this but have to go to an assembley at DD1's new school this morning. She has jsut started high school and so is desperate for me to go.

It begins at 11:45 which is a really bad time as its just before 11 month old DD2 has her lunch although I'm obviously going to give her something to eat before we go out.

I'm just dreading being in a quite assembley hall with the baby, will feel like everyone is looking at me. Then I get all het up and start sweating like mad which is embarressing!

Just ranting really as I know there is not much I can do about it all really

Hi Memoo by now you'll have been and come back. I hope it went ok :)

did you make it?

doing something new is a trigger for lots of people with anxiety.. feeling like everyone will be looking at you etc.. and finding the place and so on

hope it was not as bad as you feared x

Hope it went ok xxx

Hi, wasn't too bad at all in the end. I managed to get there a little early so I could bag a seat near the door in case I needed to take DD outside but as it happens she was a little star.

The fear of something is always worse that the actual event isn't it!? feel so much better now I've been, its gven my confidence a real boost and won't feel so worried next time.

that's fantastic xxx

So glad you managed it x
