Re: Social anxiety

What have you found helpful when you have felt like this in the past @Evie1

@STORMGRL101 mentioned grounding exercises and relaxation. Do you have strategies that help you to feel grounded, things that you do to relax?

Re: Social anxiety

That's a good idea @Evie1 Could you make yourself a cup of tea or not chocolate to sip? Whatever you prefer. Do you have someone there with you?
