The Anxiety of Upcoming Events

[whattodo1]

When an event is coming up such as new years or my birthday I get terrible anxiety for months prior to the event.. I get so anxious about whether I have plans, I'm so scared for being alone on one of these occasions because then when people ask "so what did you do for new years?" it would be embarassing to say nothing.
So i get so much anxiety and think about it everyday hoping that people will plan something with me. And what if I plan something but the others dont follow through..
I just hate these kind of events where you "have to do something sociable". They are fun at the time! But the month leading up to it is hell for me.. allways worrying
Any one else feel this way?

Yes, though I can just about switch off worrying now until the event happens. I have a rough plan on what to say for common questions and will try to turn it back on the questioner where I can - them: "What did you do for NYE?" me: "Didn't feel like doing much so blah, blah...., what did you do??" < get them to do most of the talking
