SAD

living with social anxiety disorder is, well, nervewracking. sure, the paxil helps a bit. for every day things. that's why i've been fine for the last few years. but for a big event...when there are going to be lots of people you don't know...it's terrifying. the nerves are kicking in big time now. also, being one who tires by 11:00 pm...am i going to miss the fun that happens afterward? will i even want to be there after 11? and if i am, then will i be bored? will everyone be talking about things that i don't know? i wasn't there for the 4 years i was in college...only the last half of my last semester. i know a few people, but not most. should i even go if i'm going to feel left out? what should i do?
