groups / activities / going places

anyone have problems going out to groups, activities or places in general?

Sometimes I get anxiety going out to places, or get worked up about going somewhere which doesn't help - as a result I either get really overwhelmed and don't enjoy myself as much or end up not going.

I use my techniques I've got from CBT therapy and even if my parents or just one come with me I still find it hard.

This has led to me not going to groups / activities that I actually enjoy when I can get there

I'm still recovering from resigning from work and what led to it, and trying to focus on what I like. It's like I'm finding who I am again without work.

I would love to be able to go to groups, activities and general places on my own, at the moment it seems to much

Exactly. This is what retirement does too; time to do what you want when you want, where you want. No need to think about groups and so on for the moment - spend time finding out things you like instead!

Thanks

I tried a group a couple of weeks ago (they funny meet bank holidays and meant to be going tomorrow -dad even brought some watercolor pencils and drawing pencils for it for me). I'm getting anxious about going, even though mum is going too and will be in the same room - We're doing different activities
