ouch
I am probably going away to a 5 day festival tomorrow in the desert. My anxiety is high, I can't believe I'm actually making myself go. I ALWAYS avoid avoid avoid these types of things. For me, avoidance overpowers all. I need to go though, I need to force myself to get out and actually do something. I've never been to something like this before, and being the pessimist I am I'm anticipating the worst. I hope I can actually manage to enjoy myself and not let the fear, paranoia, panic, and anxiety completely overtake me and ruin any chance of a good time. That happens all too often. I hope I really am a person beyond my anxiety and fears, but sometimes it feels like that is all I am anymore. I just need to calm down and breathe, and try to actually have a good time. It's just sooo hard. Panic is such a demon.
