is it normal to feel bad nerves at the thought of

going back to the gym after a 6 month break? i only go there to swim to keep up my fitness and health....but i don't particularly like going as i have severe social anxiety and tend to doubt myself at the drop of a hat...i feel so uncomfortable of being in such a public place too....but i have to go for my fitness sake and to lose the extra weight i've gained......and to manage my diabetes type 2......but i'm also not comfortable about being around other men and i don't like the competetive environment.

my plan was to go back tomorrow....but i'm already dreading it......any thoughts?
