My friend told me her wedding date and I felt immediate dread When an old school friend, Charlotte*, asked me to be her bridesmaid just under two years ago, a cocktail of emotions bubbled up inside of me.
I start to feel trapped by the shorter, darker days and get irritable and panicky if I don’t get outside in the daylight.
Due to my existing social anxiety, I’d decided to live in a one-bedroom studio flat close to the beach and away from the hustle and bustle of student life.
Autumn is Charlotte’s favourite season, so she’d settled on bonfire night, November 5, 2023 for her nuptials.
At the same time, I also feel lethargic, demotivated and like I want to hibernate.
