Bribery always works for me. Like if I tell myself to go to the gym I can have extra dinner. Oh wait, that is a bad example. Or if your head really, really hurts you can have a pill. Oh wait, that was a bad example too.
I am sure you will have a fine time. And if someone there is being a bitch you can always accidentally run over their toes.
I bribe myself all the time. It is one of the few things that works well, and your inner nag will shut up about it if you insist that this is not really a bribe but a reward. Which it is.
It may well be very scary, but you will have your klonopin, and you can always imagine all of us there with you and feel secretly smug that none of the other parents has a huge, awesome posse with them.
Yay for klonopin because having it means you know you need to take care of yourself, but going out means you know you need to stretch your boundaries!
Yay for bribery! Seriously, how often does ANYONE do anything they don't get some form of proverbial cookie for? Be it a hug, or a book, or a paycheck or whatever. You're doing something you're uncomfortable with and gifting yourself for doing it and coming out the other side. Make it a big book to hit your inner puritan with ;)
