Why do I get so anxious about having to go to group? Everytime it turns out just fine. It’s just a small group, half the ladies don’t show up. We learn about simple things like diet and exercise and hygeine. They always make us a big container of fruit infused ice water and feed us nice food and even dessert. The ladies all seem stable and pleasant. I just don’t know how to soothe this anxiety. There doesn’t seem to be a way to logic my way out of it.

I’m in the same boat. Doing things isn’t half as bad as starting them and actually doing them. I get really stressed out thinking about doing things.

You’ll be fine @tera.
It’s natural for some of us to get a little nervous before an event.
I get a bit nervous before I have to do certain things but then I’m fine.

Everything’s going to go fine. Once you show up you’ll probably enjoy the interaction. I get nervous about little get-togethers too but they always turn out okay. In fact nobody’s been mean to me at all in recent memory. People are generally nice it seems.

I get the same way. I make plans thinking it’s a great idea then when the time comes i’m all anxious and my brain tries to figure out how to get out of doing whatever it is. My thoughts are irrational. If i go i usually have a great time.

I stay away from groups. I know I won’t enjoy them no matter how hard I try to enjoy. That’s just not my thing. Now I’m perfectly ok without joining groups and sometimes it’s important to know your limitations.

yeah you were all right. It was fun, but thank god for ativan
I always get anxiety before therapy. I think this is because I am not used to sharing intimate experiences of mine so it makes me very nervous. Plus I don’t know if what we will talk about will upset me or not. I think it is normal to have anxiety about these things.
