I really need to work on my tendency to catastrophise. I had a panic attack over nothing and ended up offending a very good friend x.x

@Felthry *hugs* hopefully they understand if you apologize and let them know you were dealing with anxiety

@vahnj I hope so too. They're generally a pretty understanding person... I just feel like I made a mess of things and honestly I'm catastrophising again now with worrying that they won't forgive me even though I don't think that's likely

@Felthry maybe try to give yourself space to think about how you want to talk to them, rather than think about the outcome?

sorry if the advice is unwanted - if they're a good and normally understanding friend it's very unlikely they'll just drop you because you had a panic attack

@vahnj the advice is appreciated. I've already talked to them some, and they seem to understand, but they don't seem ready to forgive me yet, which I can understand.

@Felthry it's good for them to take space because it means they'll be able to continue the relationship instead of force themselves to potentially hurt it further 👍

sounds like it's gonna be okay to me :)
