Triggering all my run and hide feelings
Had all day to gently get ready
Have to dress up
Am fat ugly and unnecessary
Am going to be ridiculed
It's a dinner and the person we have been invited to is my main trigger and I can't get out of going
But leaving it longer means I have less time to get dressed and ready meaning I will def be a mess.
Am self sabotaging
But I can't seem to stop it even though I know it is true!!

Totally get how you feel!!!

But YOU KNOW , maybe from past experience , that it will no way be as bad as you're imagining, not even close

Have a glass of wine and put a happy song on, smile. Imagine yourself as a confident person who does t care. Stay close to those who make you feel good.
