Hi all hope all is well with everyone!I'm doing ok i've got womens group tomorrow and we are going out to lunch instead of having normal group this is something they do every month.Anyway since i've been having attacks again I won't go into a restuarant to eat and so i'm having real anxiety about going in i'm thinking of cancelling I don't know what to do.Other than that my anxiety had been getting better until lately with my mom and mother in law they are very dependent on me they expect me to do everything for them and they are both capable of doing these things on their own but I haven't been able to give them 100% like I usually doing because of dealing with my own anxiety.And that makes me feel guilty. I've been getting anxious in the evening and around bedtime not sure why.The depression it really just depends on the day of how bad it is i've been really busy moving so that has helped.Well til next time...April

I am working on this one too and a former therapist recommended that I just have no expectations of the experience. And to not even get anything to eat. Maybe just get some jello or something to drink and a fruit cup. And if anyone asks why I am not eating anyting BIG like they are. Just tell them I am here for the great company and that I already ate. And eat before I go so It's not a lie..haha. To not plan on being there for hours upon hours, but to take it in 15-30 minute increments and see how I feel. I am going to be working on that this weekend. I think I can do it in small doses, I am excited to try.
Best of luck to you!!
