Rachel, you are NOT stupid. In fact, you're one of the smartest, strongest women I know. So put that idea to bed RIGHT NOW. There is no way you could have made it through university and become a teacher ON TOP OF dealing with everything else you're dealing with if you weren't incredibly intelligent.
I also have trouble in social situations. Focussed breathing is my saviour. Breathe in for 4, out for 4. No one will know what you're doing, and it will give you a calm appearance. You don't have to breathe really deeply, just focus. Keep quiet. Stay with your hubby and you'll be fine! Laugh when everyone else is laughing, and smile. And BREATHE!!!!
Hugs, Alicia.
