I've been thinking of some worse case scenarios. Any ideas on how to reduce their chance of being real?
1. I go, get there and cannot handle the stress of being in a strange city all by myself with people I don't recognize. I get so distressed that I start getting suicidal again and I actually do it and die. (since I'm so stressed)
2. Same thing as above, but some of you guys haul me off to the loony bin before I kill myself. Good thing I'm an Ontarian and I've have OHIP (health insurance) LOL
3. Same thing as above only instead of killing myself I take an OD of aspirin and get really sick. My kidneys start failing and I develop pulmonary edema and I die accidentally.
4. Same thing as above only instead of dying, someone hauls me off to the hospital. Again, thank goodness for OHIP.
5. I actually have a good time, but then I unexpectedly get a Wellbutrin induced seizure and get hauled off to the hospital and miss having a really fun time.
6. I get so damn nervous in the small groups thing that I throw up all over a small group of pdocs.
7. I get really shy and anxious and don't talk to anyone and get really sad and start crying through the whole dinner experience.
8. I totally get lost and can't find my way to any of the events.
9. I lose my wallet, return ticket and everything.
10. Just before walking into the convention centre, a big seagull drops poop on my head.
11. I step on a big pile of dog poop just before walking into the convention centre and I smell like dog poop the whole time I'm there.
12. I blush intensely whenever someone speaks to me and I can't look into anyone's eyes.
13. I lose my shoes in the hostel I stay at and have to walk to the shoe store bare foot.
14. I start choking on my food at the restaurant we will go to and no one knows the Heimlich maneuver and I die.
15. Same as above, only someone saves me with the Heimlich maneuver but I'm so embarrassed that I could die.
I know there is MUCH more, but I don't want to type a novel here. LOL

P.S. Some are obviously jokes, but I don't mean the whole thing to be a joke and therefore the parts about dying are not meant to be jokes. They are simply fears, not meant in a joking way. (Though they are admittedly very outrageous, they are still my fears...real fears.)
