Hi I am planning to go on this adventure getaway thing that's been organised. Originally I was going to go with 3 friends which I was really happy about because I am socially anxious.but at the last minute they backed out. I've talked to my mom and she says that I still have to go on it. I'm freaking out at the moment cuz I'm a wreck when I'm around strangers for 1 hour let alone a week.

I was wondering if there is anything that I can bring on the trip that would be able to ease my nerve.

Thank you for reading

    Hi, it's a shame your mum is being a little unsympathetic, but avoidance isn't the right thing to do, the thing is once your there and gotten over your anxiousness you will find that the strangers will become friends and you should settle down. I don't know if your on any meds for your condition and have any emergency benzos but if not you could try bachs rescue remedy, you pop a few drops on your tongue and let it absorb, you can get a spray version, it might well help you.
