Just had the worst anxiety at boxing day family gathering

It was terrible. It was meant to be an all day kinda thing. I lasted about 25 minutes before i had to go outside and calm down. Couldnt go back in. My aunty tried to convice me to come back in and relax and that they all love me and theres no judgement. Which i rationally know. But i still couldnt help but panic and tear up. So i just walked away down the street and eventually got an uber home. And that was that. Didnt say goodbye to anyone.
Dont know how my pdoc and case manager expects me to work. They think im so high functioning. Just cause im not currently hallucinating or having crazy delusions doesnt mean im not on struggle street still…
If you are struggling mentally this holiday season too just know your not the only one.
