Anxiety stretched taut until it sings

Uwehhhh...
Nervous, nervous. Trying to psyche myself up to go to Miku Expo in a few hours.
It's not like it's the first time - I went to Miku Expo 2016 in Mexico City, and I even cosplayed back then! But it's the first time I've gone to a concert alone and first experiences bring my anxiety all the way back to full speed. It's not even a clearly articulated worry, or a specific cause for concern, just a fuzzy, tangled up ball of scary, adrenaline, and panic with neither cause nor justification.
I know that, I know that well, and yet...
Uwehhhh...
I-I'll be fine. It'll be okay. It'll be fun!
I'll be fine. I-It'll be okay. It'll be fun!
I'll be fine. It'll be okay. I-It'll be fun!
Surely if I keep repeating that, it'll be true.
Past the veil of meaningless fear and insubstantial worry lies fun and music!
