Crowds like fairs or school functions and even small social settings like parties can trigger symptoms of anxiety. Sometimes I go alone which means it's just me and the kids. Sometimes we go together but only stay for a short time. Here's what I do in social situations to ease his anxiety:
- I ask my husband before committing to doing something social to make sure he's OK with it.
- Check in periodically to see how he's doing. If he looks frazzled, we decide if he'll leave alone or if I'll go with him.
