That is just thought distortion. People aren't thinking about you like that, no one is judging you. It just what your anxiety is telling you, and it's untrue!

I'm currently trialing medications to get my anxiety under control. It has gone so poorly that I feel a little hopeless. *sigh*

Just go and not work out. Go and put your stuff in like a locker or go to the bathroom. Then leave. Slowly build up until you actually feel comfortable to work out:) Start slow!

ty for the advice, thats what I was thinking, problem is that i have to go there and register my fingerprint & give them my membership number

and as more & more days go by i feel like their confusion is heightened because im taking ages to visit
also i can picture them standing there and judging me, i feel like im not good enough

If you have this problem with other social situations then this may well be social anxiety/phobia. The longer you avoid going, the worse the anxiety will get. The idea of visiting but not working out is a good one. But it sounds like you need a smaller steps before registering, such as going to the building but not going in, then going and getting inside but leaving soon after, then registering on the 3rd visit. I'll post a link to a free self help course based on the recommended approach for treatment of social anxiety. One of the modules describes how to approach feared situations in this way, a step at a time, so that you can produce your own plan for overcoming your anxiety. Good luck and well done on taking that all important first step! :flowerforyou:
