I’ve been struggling with intense anxiety since July, ever since then doing absolutely anything out of my comfort zone terrifies me. I don’t go to parties, can’t meet up with my friends, the idea of even going on a walk with my best friend in our neighborhood makes me anxious. I was able to go out a couple of times, some of them worked out, and others i felt like complete shit. Today it’s my birthday and i know two of my closest friends will come over, as it’s kind of a “tradition”. I don’t want to tell them not to come, but i am feeling extremely anxious. I’m feeling like i’m about to start trembling and have to take deep breaths. Again, i don’t want to cancel this, I wanna get through it, but I need some help doing so. Any comforting words, any personal experiencies, anything will help :)
