@binky1956 I don't think you owe them any long drawn out explanation. A simple, "sorry I'd like to see you but my plans don't give me an opening to get together with you right now. Perhaps in the future when we are all in the same place, again." Meanwhile, keep in touch with them if you want, by phone or email, or Facetime. You need to think of yourself, first!
Like you, high school was a challenge for me. I have never gone back there, not to any reunions, not even to the campus. It is now 53 years. I haven't seen anyone from my class, either. More than once we have all heard about the roles we played in high school coming right back at reunions!
So glad to hear you will be seeking some help for PTSD and agoraphobia. Please let me know what your plans are, how you will address it?

Thanks Ginger!
I appreciate your insight. You'd think at my age (68), I'd be able to say "no" to people. I guess I felt guilty as they are both coming in from far away. One is very understanding and easy going. The other is very needy and demanding. I own a large company and still work (not my idea, but left to me by my husband) I told her that and that I may be working. Went right over her head. I will see them both separately, and let them know when I've had enough!
You're right about "roles' in high school, and I 'm sure the mean girls are still mean! I've been looking for a decent therapist for over a year, with no luck, but I'll keep trying. I'd love to get into a program at Mayo in Rochester. Thank you, Ginger ~ I'll keep you posted!
