Party tomorrow, have to go and dreading it

Hope

I hate parties. They are noisy, crowded, stuffy, smelly, over stimulating and spontaneous. I would rather stay at home with a book in the comfort of my own bed. But I can't get out of tomorrows Christmas party, whereas usually I would just not go. Seriously freaking out. Help!.

 It would not be so bad if it was during daylight hours, but it is in the evening when I am at my most stressed to begin with and would just like to relax in my bedroom. I really hate socializing for 'fun' - anything but.

  • Assuming you have ASD..

    do the collegues/friends your going with know you have ASD?

    only reason i ask is I can give you my experiance and techniques for coping with my last week.... my team know i have ASD and didnt pressure me into it... it was noisey, crowded, dark... yes i wasnt comfortable there but what i did was excuse myself regularly to go outside... get abit of fresh air and unwind... only 5 minutes here and there.. helped me, that way you feel apart of the group/team but your not pushing yourself too much.. plus just leave when you feel youve had enough... nobody is going to hate you for leaving early.. i know my team appreicated me even coming out which put me at ease

     

    hope everything went well for  you
