@Oaktree nice, well done on the win. Hope you and your husband enjoyed it.
If you do go to Ikea I hope you have fun, chocolate mousse sounds yummy.

Sitting with you @Dreamy Do you want to talk about the feeling, or do you want to try to shake it off a little and talk about something else, or just sit together? Either way I'm here with you

Thankyou @Ru-bee. I have something on tonight that I have to go to and my anxiety is extremely high, there's going to be so many people there. My head has been pounding since I woke up and my heart rate has been high since 12pm. Just feeling so overwhelmed and I'm struggling to fight my way through it.

Ah okay @Dreamy how long until you have to go?
What's been helpful when you've been feeling anxious lately? Do you have any colouring that you're working on at the moment?

hey @Dreamy i'm not a fan of being around big crowds of people too. actually i'm not a fan of small crowds too unless i know them well 😅
i hear how nerve-wrecking that must be, i hope it's not too overstimulating tonight. i'm sitting with you 💙

@Dreamy ohh yep, very fair! my friend's not a people person too, she always hopes there's a cat/dog that she can hang out with instead.
