Today has been good exept i hate my social phobia. My husband wanted me to come to a service in his church, because, he and 2 of his friends are taking care of it and playing the music. But of course i couldnt go, i felt to bad about meeting people i don't know so i have been all day finding excuses not to go. And because i was so anxius about it my stomac was a mess so of course i couln't go. I feel awful about this because he needed me there and i feel like i'm letting him down.  And tomorrow we are supposed to go to a birthday for my neese, but i don't think i can do it. I'm to anxius about meeting these people i haven't meet so long. And also it is a long way from home and there is lots of snow and icing on the roads. So i guess i'm excused not to go. Part of me is very happy about that but the other part is not because it has been almost a year i met these people. And they are good people. This is not a good thing, i feel like it is getting worse by the day. Not many places i still go to. My daughter's school, store, The doctor and the mall and yea my bestfriend's house but only if there are no other guests. I'm going to wait until i meet my new doctor, I'm not going to forse myself into anything i'm not ready to do. Well maybe that is not the right thing but thats what i feel i am ready to do right now. Later Ásta.

Sorry your social phobia is getting the best of you. I know exactly how you feel. I was constantly making up excuses, so i dont have to go somewhere. But your right the feeling that you get from not doing things with people you care about, because of the phobia can really make you feel awful. Latly ive been trying to be honest with people, and just hope they can understand. Doesnt it just suck when your nerves cause your stomach to flip- so your emetophobia sneaks in on you too. Its like a vicious cirle!! Hope your weekend is a good one hun *hugs*
