Is anyone else not doing so well with return to normalcy and going out at night again? My anxiety, particularly social anxiety and hangover panic attacks, has skyrocketed and I feel off the rails. I’ve kind of forgotten how to function and at 25 going out and especially day drinking is becoming less and less appealing.

Not just you! Went to a party a couple of weeks back at a friend’s apartment and only stayed 2 hours and drank 2 beers 😅

Even when hanging out with people and not drinking I’ve found that my social battery drains pretty quickly. I think everyone just needs to do what they like and enjoy spending time with people the way they want to!

Yes and no. Social anxiety and hangover anxiety is still there, just went through it last week. But it's balanced with reconnecting with old faces I haven't seen for years.

I feel like now that everyone has had this experience, doing it on my terms might hopefully be easier and more understandable.

Like I cancelled on lunch and said I didn't feel too good, knowing I had to attend a farewell dinner the same day. I didn't feel guilty for wanting to moderate my interaction.

My friends aren't hitting me up to hang either, so I don't think anyone is in a hurry to jump right back into it.
