I feel absolutely ■■■■. I should not have gone to the party. I think this will trigger something. Something as tiny as that always does. I can’t stop crying. My meds are reduced do I don’t think thAt will help.
When I feel bad, oftentimes I take a hot shower and nap for a while and when I wake up I feel much better. Sorry the party didn’t go as you had wished. Hope you feel better soon!

I think you are a bit emotional, ish. Usually a bad party was just boring and noisy. You can get bored from it. Was there anybody insulted you at the party?

Sorry you feel this way ish. But don’t you feel a little proud of yourself that you attended something as hard as a party? I would be. Give yourself a little break and pat yourself on the back.

I think you did your best attending the party, when I’m at family gatherings and my noise level/anxiety shoots through the roof I feel bad when I have to leave early, but really I think in the long run leaving when you feel you need to is the best thing, you don’t want to have a melt down in front of the party goers, that never is well for anyone involved.
I think it’s great that you went, it shows promise and hope that you’re trying, just take it one step at a time though. If this was too much for you tonight then maybe try a smaller gathering next?
Sometimes it’s good to cry too, just let it out and it will help your mood get better.

This thread reminds me that I’m not looking forward to the family Christmas party that I must go to this year. If I try to make small talk, then I end up saying something that offends people and if I don’t then I come off as an arrogant jerk. A lose-lose situation. Oh well, I typically only go once every few years, which isn’t too bad.
