I'm worried I won't sleep tonight because I promised my friends I'd go clubbing tomorrow night because it's one of their birthdays and I have to get the bus alone, what would you do to stop worrying if you knew there was no way you could cancel?

I always like to remind myself of how insignificant everything is to begin with. Like next Thursday while you’re working on something for school or your job and you’re thinking about what you’re gonna have for dinner, and contemplating about classes for next semester- will last Saturday have mattered? If riding the bus alone was a little scary but you forgot about it at the club, and if the club was a little stressful but you felt better when you got home- will it have all been worth the sleepless night? How about a week from Thursday when you have other things to handle? Or this coming August? It’s all sooooo very insignificant, and I too struggle with remembering the thing that I have to do that’s making me dread life- are laughably insignificant in the long term. (Sometimes even short term).

Bless you leah you always have such wise words to say! You're right. Next week it won't matter to me although if I act awkward I do tend to re play the whole situation again and again in my head - as for the sleep, I know if I don't sleep I really really will have a shit time so I know I need to sleep

Aw no worries!❤️❤️ I TOTALLY feel you. It’s just like 35% of my day is just replaying awkward things I’ve said/done throughout my entire life. That everyone else has literally no memory of, or time in their life to think about haha. And I so feel the club thing too. I remember going out with my friends used to stress me out so much, but if it was someone’s birthday I’d feel bad about not going too! Yes, please do get adequate sleep! But don’t be worried if you can’t fall asleep, that won’t help the situation. Just remember whatever happens it will always be okay. Little sleep? Okay. Stressful bus ride? Okay. Awkward at party? Not a single person has space in their day to think about it. It’s a thing, that you will do, that will end- and life will continue! Maybe try to let loose while you’re at it:)

Bless you, you're such a lovely person! Thank you for your words of wisdom! May God bless you xx

That is so sweet, thank you so much! Much appreciated?❤️

Just ask your self do you want to go out with your friends if the answer is yes then just repeat 'I would like to go with my friends' if not then dont

I don't want to but I have to because I promised

I will feel shit the whole time because I hate clubs but I'll feel like a good friend when I've recovered

If I don't go I'll feel upset and like I'm a bad friend

So I have no choice, I'm going what ever, but I need someone to tell me coping mechanisms or something with stress like this

Just drink ? sorry if this isnt helpfull try and turn a bad situation into a good one

Lol imma have to before I leave the house or I'm never ganna cope but I bet I'll get pickled

Ha
