Fear of social situations

I signed up for the Thanksgiving dinner at intensive outpatient last week and I had to make a reservation in advance so that the people in charge could reserve a dinner for me. Well today I chickened out. I got scared of being in a crowded close quarters room because it's raining today usually they have meals outside on the patio but today I knew they were going to cram us into the clubhouse room and I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to handle that. Plus I was really sedated from some new medication they were trying on me to help me sleep. It's funny I still had trouble falling asleep but I woke up this morning feeling like I was on the bottom of the ocean. I could have gotten up and gone today but I just didn't feel like dealing with the crowd. I'm really going to need to address that I'll bring that up tomorrow.
Thus far I haven't played hooky or gone a
AWOL from program except today.

I will try and pin each new thing I share on this board so that people can see what I posted the most recently. Sometimes I will post about how I'm doing other times it will be an announcement.

Re: Fear of social situations

I'm afraid of being in situations where I'm caught off guard or thrown off balance or surprised.
Social situations are a perfect example.
