@Oaktree nice, well done on the win. Hope you and your husband enjoyed it. 

 

If you do go to Ikea I hope you have fun, chocolate mousse sounds yummy.

Sitting with you @Dreamy Do you want to talk about the feeling, or do you want to try to shake it off a little and talk about something else, or just sit together? Either way I'm here with you

Re: Battles

Thankyou @Ru-bee. I have something on tonight that I have to go to and my anxiety is extremely high, there's going to be so many people there. My head has been pounding since I woke up and my heart rate has been high since 12pm. Just feeling so overwhelmed and I'm struggling to fight my way through it.

Re: Battles

Ah okay @Dreamy how long until you have to go?

 

What's been helpful when you've been feeling anxious lately? Do you have any colouring that you're working on at the moment?

Re: Battles

hey @Dreamy i'm not a fan of being around big crowds of people too. actually i'm not a fan of small crowds too unless i know them well 😅

Re: Battles

@Ru-bee have to be there no later than 6pm. 

 

I just finished my colouring last night so now I have to start another one. Today everything is just heightened.

Re: Battles

@rav3n i just really don't do people at all even when I know them.

 

Thankyou ❤️.It's so hard trying to get ready cos I really don't want to go but I don't have a choice.

Re: Battles

@Dreamy ohh yep, very fair! my friend's not a people person too, she always hopes there's a cat/dog that she can hang out with instead. 

 

how long do you have to be there for?

Re: Battles

@rav3n that's fair, animals are better than people. 

 

It's for about an hour and a half.

Re: Battles

@rav3n @Ru-bee are you still around? I'm at this thing and literally standing alone freaking out. Everyone else knows people and I just look like a loser.
