I can relate - the first time I met my bf's dad and his sisters I totally freaked out. 1 on 1 I am ok, but a group like that...bad. I freaked out over there not being anything healthy I could eat, then I made some crazy statement about going but not saying a word, etc, etc. Fortunately I got my Zoloft about a week or 2 after that, I have been much better about social gatherings now. But I still don't like them.

Good for you! I used to suffer from social anxiety, and I still do to a degree (like one on one situations make me really nervous). It is hard to take that first step, and I am glad to see that you have done it.
