I have anxiety/panic disorder with agoraphobia (about 10 years now). One of my best friends has asked me to stand in her wedding, and I happily agreed. She lives in a different part of the country and my husband and I will be driving.

Her fiance emailed me yesterday and wants to fly me there next weekend as a pre-wedding surprise (some friends of hers are planning a girls night/weekend outing). He really wants me to be there and offered to pay for all expenses. So I feel like I can't say no, and really don't want to disappoint anyone. I also would really love to be there. But flying by myself is making me feel really stressed. I haven't flown alone since before all the anxiety issues. I am so confused, because as soon as I say 'yes' that's it, it's done. And I don't want to spend the next week and a half worrying myself into a tizzy.

Advice? Please tell me what you think you would do. Should I just 'suck it up' and go and try to have a good time?
