How to deal with anxiety that is making me feel sick.

[Anxious1013]

Specifically it’s because I have been on some dates with someone I really like, and the days during which I don’t know if there is going to be another date are really hard. I don’t want to feel like this but I do - a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach that I can’t get rid of.

What can I do to make it go away . It’s horrible and also debilitating.

Thank you .

Just bumping in case anyone has dealt with anxiety that feels like this, and has any tips.

Have you tried things like mindfulness? Or Kalms?

No - mindfulness scares in in that the issues at hand will seem even worse if I don’t distract myself with other stuff.

I haven’t tried Kalms. Would they help?

Scares me I meant to say.

Is it the not knowing op? Do you feel better when a date is actually arranged?

Yes it’s the not knowing and yes I feel much better. I feel normal then and as if I can go about my day getting stuff done. At the moment I am trying to get stuff done while feeling sick .

Oh you poor thing. I've suffered with this to some degree for years and it can be really debilitating.
