Family lunch, could use some good vibes.

I’m getting anxious about this family lunch that I’ll be going to in a hour. I don’t like going out to eat as it triggers my anxiety for some reason. I don’t know if it’s too much stimulation because of all the noise and people and smells but I just avoid doing it. But there’s some family of mine that are visiting and we are all meeting up for lunch and I’m just anxious about it. Could use some good vibes 😔

I suggest you strike up a conversation with somebody there right away. It will distract you, and take your attention off of yourself. When it's over, you'll be glad you went.

You can do it! Stay busy until it's time to go and just do it. I'll bet you'll be pretty proud of yourself when it's over! Then you can go home, relax, and do something you enjoy to celebrate.
