Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
A friend of ours is having a birthday party tonight. My husband just left to go to high school reunion dinner so if we go we will be going late. I like the people throwing the party which is the guy whose birthday it is and his wife. But I really don't care for a lot of the people they associate with. One of the women is constantly talking bad about other people behind their back. Wonder what she has to say about us. The group of them have been doing a lot of activities together that we were not invited to.. Also I am not feeling very sociable. Hubby really wants me to go but I don't really feel like it. What should I do?
Since you will have to be late you won't have to stay very long.
Maybe just a quick drink and a snack, staying close to the [people you like and just be cordial to the rest of them.
Then develop a very early appointment and skedaddle.
The other thing to consider would going to the party be a minor annoyance or would it send you into a total tailspin?
