I'm having dinner with my parents tomorrow at 6:30 right down the street from my house and for some reason I'm feeling nervous. I've been having a little trouble with agoraphobia but have been getting better about going out, I'm def not house bound. Last time I went to dinner was two months ago with my parents.

Why am I so nervous? I mean it's dinner, lasting at the most an hour and a half. I guess I'm afraid I'm going to have a panic attack and not feel good or not want to eat my dinner. Last time I went to dinner I did have a panic attack but I was able to float with it and it went away.

Any advice on how you calm your worries?

Personally, I have found that distracting yourself up until its time to go for dinner helps. On mothers day I was extremely nervous about going out for lunch with my family, esspecially because it was around the time I first started having the panic attacks and my family was constantly asking me if I was ok... I was just like "yesss... im fine " But I found sitting in an area where you can look out a window can help calm your nerves while you are in the restaurant. And basically just keep trying to stay in the moment, thats very important Im sure youu will be fine anywayss... if you already know how to just float with it, just let yourself relax and have a good time
