Really don't want to go out.

I'm suppose to go to dinner with my boyfriend and 3 friends tonight and I really don't want to go. I'm afraid of anxiety and yesterday my t doc said she thinks I have PTSD from my hysterectomy. But she pretty much told me to force myself to go out tonight. It's just dinner then we are coming back home. Ugh.

I think it sounds like good advice. It's good to get out and be with other people. And dinner won't take that long...perhaps an hour.
I always dread going out before I go out. I don't know what that is or where it comes from.
But I go anyway and have fun and come back home relaxed and happy.

I understand that anxiety well. I hope once you get out and get seated that you'll have a lovely time. Happy new year!

I also think your tdoc is right. I, too, have to go out tonight and don't want to, but I'm going to go anyway.

Probably the anxiety will pass once you get there and start eating.

Do you have a PRN you can take before you go?

I hope dinner was tolerable, and I hope you might have enjoyed your bf and friends a bit.

    Mom and I have errands to run this morning. She said we can get sushi for lunch though.  I go back to work today. What are you looking forward to this weekend?
