So anxious about my birthday

So tomorrow morning my nan, aunty and mum are going to meet me out for a lunch to celebrate my birthday. I’m pretty worried about it. Things like seeming weird or gettinf anxiety at the lunch are getting me down and making me feel tense today. It’s so hard to battle my social anxiety… :frowning:
I just wanna hide forever. But I know that’s not healthy and I need to get out occasionally and be social. It’s just so stressful.

Happy birthday :partying_face: maybe it’s tough at the beginning, but I feel like you might quite enjoy the birthday outing!

Start talking! If I sit quietly I get anxious and overthink things. When I talk, I ease up. So, try to participate in the conversation. You will feal better.

Thanks for your comments I appreciate it. Unfortunately I didn’t read any of your replies until just now. But yeah it wasn’t so bad after all. I was having a little panic attack on the drive there but after a few minutes with them I was okay. Anxiety is almost always apprehension of things to come rather than whatevers happening in the now huh.
