Social Anxiety... :( · 2:49pm Oct 30th, 2015
I have had this debilitating mental illness for as long as I can remember. Recently though, my anxiety levels have gotten pretty high. Just going out to the grocery store or even down to the mailbox has been a chore. This paired the the depression I've been going through as well has just made a joy to be around. (That was sarcasm BTW)
And I'm not sure if it's poor timing or not, but my friend whom I've know for 20 years invited me to her Halloween/Birthday pary this weekend and I'm not entirely sure if going would be a good idea or not...I'm fighting with everything I have not to keep retreating to my metaphorical shell here... To go or not to go? That is the question...
Come up with a list of things to talk about. Get a fun costume that at least covers your face, and make a small appearance. That's what I do if I wanna at least go but don't wanna stay.
