anxiety/paranoia is worse when...

I find that if me and a friend have organised to do something, lets say a pint down the pub for example of to go to kfc etc, my anxiety is especially bad. But, if its done on the spur of the moment, it is not nearly as bad...anyone feel like this to sometimes?

Yea I get like that a lot. I think it's cuz i dont have time to think about what I could do or say wrong. If someone asks me to do something the day before i'll spend all my time thinking about how bad things could turn out and i'll be so nervous even before i step outside the house.

If I have to make a phone call it always troubles me a lot. I feel anxious and I postpone it for hours, even if it is to people I know well. If I receive one, on the other hand, I may even sound confident while talking to a complete stranger. God knows... :roll:
