Anonymous: I hope I'm doing this right... Anyways I have some pretty bad social anxiety and I always get stressed at parties. Especially family parties. What are some ideas to focus my stress into AT THESE PARTIES so I can feel a little relieved?

Amy: Hey, I completely understand what you feel; I have breakdowns all the time, and to tell you the truth, it seriously sucks. When you're at any type of party whatsoever, it's safe to say that hiding in the bathroom and and going on your phone may always be a safe choice. Maybe sometimes you can fight this social anxiety, and I know it will be really hard but sometimes, talking to people may help things. But of course, texting your friends in the bathroom is what I would go for; I'm 54% introverted. BEST OF LUCK, hope you survive!-Amy
