Usually, before I have to do someting or go to places, I feel insane anxiety, like I’m gonna throw up, feel dread, and it makes me think about staying at home often just because I don’t want to deal with the pressure and responsibility I have to consider while there. 

Tomorrow, I have a date for the first time in a long time. Tbh I feel like this again, and I almost consider dropping it, but I just feel so tense and anxious, I can’t focus on anything and it’s all I think about. I struggled heavily with social anxiety some years ago, but it’s much better now, but I think I still have some left seeing I mostly keep to myself in social situations and preferably avoid social situations entirely. Also because I am only recently getting out of my shell and isolation, so I have no friends from before, and I am a bit socially awkward and have aspergers, so also afraid of what she’ll think of me. How do you deal with anxiety and dread before facing your responsibilities and events?
