My lovely and very understanding husband has been super patient and understanding about my anxiety that has slowly but persistently ramped up over the last few years. He has never pressurized me or pushed me to explain just been supportive. I have got sertraline that I plan to start in the next few days for anxiety that stops me from doing a lot. Day to day I am fine but don't want to make many plans/holidays/go out for dinners/ plans with friends as I fear not being able to get out of the situation. My anxiety is all around a history of IBS and feeling like I need to get away. It's all pretty irrational but has taken a strong hold of me. Anyway my husband planned for us to go to an escape room tomorrow night. I really don't want to go. The travel, the timing (having to be there by a certain time and stay for a certain time), being closed in the room (although I know you can ask to leave). I struggled a bit over Christmas and generally do over new year as it reminds me of how long I have suffered with this now. I feel exhausted and tired of dealing with the insomnia, nausea, tummy upset etc my anxiety brings and don't want to go so I can avoid all this and have some peace after a fairly anxious few weeks. My husband is really upset that I don't want to go and is understandably cross. So should I suck it up and ft through tonight and tomorrow to prove a point to muself (not letting it win) and for him or should I be kind to myself and acknowledge that I'm at breaking point and need to not push myself too much right now? I'm in a quandry in my mind and not sure what to do
