Going to a conference- Mild anxiety and depression

Post Reply New Topic

Hi:
I am going to a conference which I used to have no problem with but during the year, the last few things went to this year, I found myself sinking into depression after running into a woman who works for a non-profit that has a small mind about people with disabilities. Then after that, everything went downhill and I just could not stop crying

Then I went to an event to work on a project of mine that was related to the event, which was out of state, I felt out of place and felt that I might have been a pest around the guest speaker who I am otherwise connected with. Every time I wanted to talk to this person, I kept thinking "Oh what have I done?" I wanted to run away and cry somewhere as I was very scared. However, this person and I have been acquainted for quite some time but they were under major crunch time next to feeling very tired themselves.

However, my mild depression and anxiety have been affecting other areas in my life but I am talking to a counselor and treating these areas.

I am going to be going out of town for the conference and will be staying in a hotel and while there, I am hoping to get some exercise and use the pool because it's indoors which is before the conference. What suggestions do you have for this conference and especially
