I definitely do - if I haven't had a chance to mentally prepare myself for going somewhere/doing something I can find it really difficult. I have worked around this though, here are my strategies: Go with a close friend Ask who will be there/what will be happening/what you will need Give yourself an...

Awesome. That answers some of my questions. For the title of the thread, yeah I know hypochondriac is a bit of a misnomer, but I wanted to be succinct.
