I did real bad this weekend
Hello, I let my anxiety run unchecked this weekend. It was a three day weekend, and the first weekend I was getting together with my friends in over a year. I got so worried about meeting up with everyone again and wether or not we had changed so much that hanging out would feel weird. I stopped all my self care habits. I didn't sleep regular hours, and I didn't meditate or take short breaths. I allowed the tunnel vision of catastrophizing take over. Friday night I started binge eating and I didn't stop until Monday night. A full-to-bursting stomach has always been my go to. Today I feel sick and ashamed. I had lost a few pounds over the last few months through CBT and these good habits I developed. Now I feel like I have to start over building good habits again from the beginning. Everything went fine meeting with my friends Monday. We picked up like there was no time between us. Did I always get this wound-up meeting with my friends? I am afraid of not being perfect and upsetting/disappointing someone with something I say or do. I need to figure out how to not get so stressed out for next weekend, and try to keep those good habits.
