Find your calm place. You don't HAVE to go.
If you can believe this, and it helps you find some calm again, then great. Then you can ask yourself 'now, do I want to go?' Your choice, honey.

So in the end I contacted another support worker and asked them if I could go along with them, to give me someone to walk in with and get there with etc. It gave me the strength to go once I had made plans to go with someone else.
Walking in was hard, but one I was there my mood lifted and I'm home now feeling accomplished. <3

You rock, honey. :D
