I Have Anxiety

Tomorrow, I'm going out for a drink with a couple of people from work. Probably seems like nothing for a lot of people, but it's pretty terrifying for me. I usually make excuses and haven't done this sort of thing for a good few years.My mind is currently running me through everything that could go wrong/I could do wrong,mostly "they probably invited you because they felt sorry for you/they're going to laugh at you", but I'm determined to do it. I might even have fun...XD

Try reading The Heart of Happiness by The Dali Lamai. It might not appear to be...but could help.

@instagramcat: A way to cope with anxiety is to see that we are all connected and pretty much the same. I know this is not necessarily going to help you tomorrow. Also, know that people genuinely care about you and want you to do well. Even in this insane SW place. You are not alone. 🤡
