So Nervous About Tomorrow

[prttypetunia]

Tomorrow my dad is getting remarried and I am sooo nervous about the whole event.  It is about an hour and 30 minutes from my home and I hate being too far from home.  Also my younger brothers have to come along with us so I am nervous that I will make a fool of myself in front of them by having an attack or freaking out.  Then the ceremony itself is going to be awkward and there are going to be a ton of people that I don't know.  I always feel so self conscious in social situations.  I'm also scared that I just won't feel well enough to go or a will just have a horrible time.  Please give me some encouragement or some advice that might help me out.  Thank:)

I find that most of my horrible feelings are before the actual event.  I always dread going, hate going far, and more....but once I am there and actually going through the day, it isn't so bad after all!  Do you find that this happens with you too, does it ever actually end up as bad as you perceive it?

Try to play the day in your mind the way you want it to be...calm, cool and collected...obviously you have a vivid imagination already seeing things so negatively (my therapist always told me that, too)...change your mind positively...TRUST ME...we are all with you and I will be sending good vibes your way!!!!

I got up this morning and got ready and BOOM total anxiety attack.  I took a Klonopin but it didn't do much for me.  I had tummy troubles all morning.  Picked up my brothers and was on my way anyhow.  I had to stop so many times to use the bathroom that I was running super late so I just broke down and called my dad to say we weren't going to make it.  Ugh I am sooo disappointed in myself:(
