New Years Party
My friend invited me to a party at her house but shes in a different state and I know itll be a big deal and Ill have to spend the night and Ill have to just wait for her to bring me back home. I want to say yes because every year I wish I had friends or a loved one to spend it with instead of just my parents but I cant help the knot in my stomach as I try to get myself to say yes.
@writerchick88 The way I have dealt with my anxiety is by jumping out into the world and forcing myself into different situations that I may find intimidating or uncomfortable. I know that this has helped me deal with anxiety and it may not be the same for you or anyone else but if it were me I would try to step out of my comfort zone and go to this party. Even if you do just end up following your friend around like a lost puppy the entire night (pretty much what I end up doing) you still won in a battle on your anxiety. Every tiny battle puts you one step closer to winning the war.
@writerchick88 You are in control. You have the power not the anxiety!
