Dear Miss Emily:

Hi, I was engaged to be married on July 16, 2011.  Three months ago we split up and it has been difficult.  My friends want to take me fishing at a camp this weekend (this was the day I was to married).  I kinda don't want to go as I feel anxiety about being away from home that day.  But I know I should move on...not sure what to do???

I think you're going to feel anxiety one way or the other, but I do understand being in a different environment, and trying to appear as if you're enjoying yourself could put added pressure on you. You have to do what you feel is best and not worry about anyone else, or the need to move on. Of course you have to move on -- but it takes time. And if the comfort of your own home allows you to be anxious, but not under any obligation to hoop it up with the boys, I'd stay home.
