Attending a concert

Rose
1 month ago
Hi, I was wondering if anyone has any advice/ could share theyre experience going to wembely and concerts with either anxiety or autism. I'm going next Thursday to Taylor swift and have been looking forward to seeing Taylor for years. There's no way I'm not going but since buying the tickets my anxiety has gotten a lot worse. I struggle with levaing the house particularly without my mum and am going with a group friends who although are supportive want to que for a recent while and get a good spot/view. We have early entry and in the largest pit bit and I can get quite clastrobic. Aswell as hot in crowds which is a sensory issue. I also get very anxious when I don't have water on me and so the water situation is making me quite nervous. I'm a massive massive fan and have been obsessing over it for ages and really worried my anxiety is going to ruin it. Does anyone have any tips or experiences to make me feel more at ease. Plan on bringing earplugs, fans and sunflower lanyard but worried that isn't going to cut it: Thank you

    It sounds odd, but Billy's advice is pretty good. I do the same. I can only do it occasionally, and it needs a big incentive (like seeing a favourite band/artist.)

    I don't know if other people are the same, but I only remember the good stuff and the anxiety memory sinks away afterwards leaving me with nice memories. It is worth it. 

    Ironically the bigger venues are better for finding a place to hide like toilets etc that smaller venues don't have.
