Hi Widget,

Is it very important to your husband that you attend? I have social anxiety and my husband totally understands it if I say I don't want to go unless I absolutely have to. He feels the same way about any work related events I get stuck going to.

If you have to go, if there are long tables try to sit on the end- less interaction if nobody is next to you on one side. I always need to sit on the end. I hate round tables unless they aren't filled.

If you have any anti-anxiety meds take them. Clonazepam has gotten me through job interviews which can cause a complete panic attack.

I don't think you lose either way if you go or not, if not going means missing out on a good meal, but ending up with major anxiety it's not worth going.

Good luck.

Poet
