groups / activities / going places

pinkchocoholic

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

  • I live alone and don't have any friends in real life. I just have family, but tend to go out alone these days. For a while I went out about once a month when I was doing a project filming waterfalls in parks. I still hope to see some this summer in July. I also used to go the cinema alone or with my mum every now and then. I like to see a human circus around Christmas to called Revel's circus. I have gone away for a day trip myself to Zurich Rhine Falls and I like going to the seaside once a year, sometimes in a group on a coach or alone. This is the Rhine Falls.

    i also have been to an autism group in person called the London Autism group which is a charity that meets once a month in some towns. The group was free to attend.

    I do get anxiety at times about going out, but I still go mostly.
