Then I won’t have to stress myself to the max over that damn building.
I hope that you feel better @firemonkey - Man some of our symptoms are so similar.
Sometimes its the anticipatory anxiety that is the worse - the reality of it all wont be as bad - I am sure of this

I’ve got my ex befriender kindly coming with me on Tuesday for support but obviously if they take me on he can’t be there to help me with the stress of coping with the building on my own in the future.
If I was to be accompanied by someone, ie I had a friend who went there, it would be different. I don’t feel they(Richmond fellowship or any other people in the building) would understand if I had a hysterical meltdown, which is likely to happen if the place is not very easy to navigate and I panic .
In situations like this the anxiety goes round and round the brain with an obsessional intensity.
I am the same exact way - I know exactly how you are feeling. The anxiety and fear keeps churning in my head in an obsessional fashion. I am sure things will work out for you in the end
Not sure of your exact circumstances but taking a lot of time beforehand and learning where you need to go would make it a lot easier. I remember being in school, it sucks when you’re rushing around trying to find out where you’re supposed to go while the clock is ticking.

@Malvok has an excellent idea - If you go there and face your fears, familiarize yourself with the building a couple of times, it would ease your anxiety. I do this somteimes
Getting to the building is ok though I don’t often go that far from my flat. As I have to press a number and then a bell sign I am not sure how easy it is just to go in the building and suss things out…
