You: I’m really sorry I don’t think I can make it tonight.

Casey: awww why not? I thought you were just watching movies tonight :(

You: I just don’t don’twant to go tonight, I’m sorry

Casey stops responding. You start to feel guilty for not going.

Why hasn’t she responded yet? Is she mad at me for not going? Maybe I should have just said yes. She is my best friend. She’s probably really disappointed. Am I being a bad friend?

Your hands begin to sweat and you have difficulty breathing. You are having a panic attack.
