Dreading Christmas party

Hope

 Tonight I have a Christmas party that I have to attend for work reasons, and I am dreading it. For a start, it is late in the day/evening, and I get increasingly tired and irritable in the evening; this is not helped by the fact it is now so dark, and my anxiety goes through the roof.

I hate parties: they are loud, hot, with people everywhere, and no structure. I know I can escape to the toilets if it gets too much, but I still feel very uneasy. And then, when it is over, I will have to travel home feeling close to nervous collapse.

Not really sure what I want out of this post, perhaps I just want to get this off my chest. Am I alone in hating parties?

  • I hate Christmas parties 9and parties in general) too. The last party I went to was last year. I was invited by a friend of mine who is also Autistic and I'd explained my concernes with noise beforehand. She said the music will start off quiet and would gradually increase. She said she wouldn't be offended if we left early.

    I quite enjoyed it.
