I hate going on nights out. With a passion. So much so that I probably go out one night every four months, whilst for most people my age, it's at least a weekly affair. One of the last times I was out, I ended up hyperventilating in a bathroom. If you're like me and don't want to just avoid it, I have some tips that might help you! Don't drink. Especially if, like me, you have anxiety. Alcohol is a depressant and can make us more anxious. It will most likely not make you feel calm throughout the night. If you experience depersonalisation, it can increase this. The same goes for drugs (yes, even weed). Even though some drugs can originally have a calming effect, they can induce depressed episodes and paranoia. If you feel uncomfortable pr left out during the night, buy a drink of coke. It'll help you feel more in place if you have a glass in hand. Image from here     2. Wear something you're comfy in If you wear something that makes you uncomfortabl
