Hello!
The issue I'm currently having that has also happened to me before twice now is the following:
My girlfriend from overseas came to visit me and stay at my house today. We'd never seen each other in real life before and everything is great except for the fact that I can't get rid of my anxiety. I feel unwelcome and I'm uncomfortable in my own home because she's there, not because I actually have a problem with her person but because I'm not used to having visitors.
I've tried to calm down and asked for some privacy which I have gotten but even being alone my anxiety won't subside. I've had over two other guests where this was the case and I was overwhelmed by their presence to the point one of them had to leave early because I wasn't even able to do anything anymore. I thought I'd gotten more stable since then and this would be better but it's really bad. I don't want to feel like this and I don't want her to think it's her fault or that I don't want to do anything with her. I don't understand why I'm so overwhelmed and I don't know how to make my anxiety go away. It won't go away no matter how much I try to distract myself and how much alone time I have until I'm guessing she leaves completely...

what about making a skedule of things to do while she is here

do you think that will help you?

I know one of the things that help me also is being in control

perhaps you can start by the skedule idea, so you know you have some control over the situation
