Hi everyone it has been a long time since I have been on this board and I hope that you are all doing well with managing your anxiety. I know for me that someday are better than others but I always live to see another day.

I know I will get through this I just can't wait until it is done and over with and I hope that I am able to just lighten up and enjoy the day and have some fun! Thank you for reading this and I hope that you are doing well with your anxiety.
Work on focusing on your mom and having a good time instead of those ppl who don't deserve one second more of your thoughts and time!
For your anxiety that may appear tomorrow, try to remember to do your deep breathing to keep yourself as calm as possible. Engage in conversation to help distract yourself from how you are feeling and, for those people who have judged you, avoid them if you can. If that is not possible then try to be as self confident as you possibly can. Having self confidence will usually quiet most critics.
Have a wonderful day!
