Social anxiety
I've read so many discussions on here about anxiety, in particular social anxiety, and how it affects day to day life.
I have never actually associated myself with this symptom as much as I have recently, thanks to Perimenopause.
I am now also finding myself cancelling social engagements with friends especially with the opposite sex thanks to this debilitating symptom. I hate it.
I didn't actually think it was a big issue but clearly it is. I've cancelled two coffee dates with a lovely man because I feel so anxious, self conscious and shy I guess. It's absolute madness.
I'm such a social person and people person by nature but am noticing a slight change now...it's horrible!
Any advice or tips from women who have or are xperiencing the same issues would be great
Thank you!

Hi Dora... It can be a very lonely physiological time for us ladies... I was the same. People became a chore to me... Life became the same... I came and are stil coming through it... This affects many women so please don't feel you are alone. I think us girls need to meet with ourselves in all this and allow ourselves to go with it. It can be an awful dark period... Like a bereavement... About how carefree and fun our lives were.. I find at times I go back down memory lane remembering the good ole times but I am much more positive now looking forward now... This is a season... You are not alone... Keep checking in here for support... Go easy there.. CK

It does help to breath through it and remind your brain that it will pass. I just hope this foes away soon. You do find yourself canceling events and people kind of act funny about it. I had a friend say, she miss her hanging partner, guess what i was thinking, me too.
