Are there any moms here who have had trouble sending your kids to school because of your own social phobia? My daughter starts kindergarten next week and I feel such anxiety about it. I think SHE is fine; it's me who has the problem. I went to her kindergarten orientation today and I had this awful feeling that the other parents were being hostile toward me, giving me dirty looks like they wished I'd drop dead. There was only one person in the whole crowd that I knew (and she was friendly to me, thank God!) and otherwise I was completely among strangers. Driving home, I almost felt sick. I don't know how I can go to parent nights and meetings and activities and everything else with these people for the next decade. I feel so overwhelmed. Has anybody else been through this, and how do you deal with it? Thanks!
