Still making excuses

I have to be at my best friends daughters birthday party in a hour and I feel like I can't go. A few days ago I told my best friend all about my SA and she was amazing about it, even offering to go to the doctors with me. We've been best friends for ten years and she said she's noticed the change in me (I've had SA for the past five years) but she didn't know how to bring the subject up.
Anyway, even though she knows about it now and I know she will understand if I don't go, I find myself still thinking up other excuses as to why I can't go. I feel embarrassed about my SA and I can't discuss the finer details about it with anyone.
Does anyone else have this problem? Or do you all just tell the people who know about your SA the truth?

Not with a therapist, no. It's nothing they haven't heard before, and plenty worse I'm sure. Nobody else needs to know the finer details without good reason.
