Jane,
What you are experiencing is normal for people in our situation. There are times when I just don't have the energy available to deal with people. I don't want people to tell me that "all I need is to relax and have a good time. Then I'll be amazed at how much better I feel". In my mind, all I need to do is to tell them that listening to them is going to make me puke.
If you are feeling like you don't want to go, then maybe you are looking at the amount of energy you will spend to "have a good time". Maybe there will be people there you don't want to interact with.... Look at yourself, and try to find out what the hesitancy is, then you'll be better able to decide if you really want to go or not.
I hope this helps,
Dee.
