Meeting tomorrow, severe anxiety

[Dolphin80]

I’m having a meeting at work tomorrow and feeling severe anticipatory anxiety. Help needed to cope with this. Taking meds but not enough.

Is there anything specific that's going to happen / be discussed in this meeting that's causing particular concern?

Or is it fear of the unknown?

[Dolphin80]

Fear of the unknown.

Would it help you to rehearse the things you need to say?

hi do your best to stay calm.if its your work then you know everyone anyway your not heading into the un known with strangers.writing things down is a good way its better than just coming out with things randomly.take your time when talking take deep breaths.

Yeh I’m trying to get my thoughts together today. It’s just that I suffer with severe anxiety so it’s hard.

My mind races to images of me fainting lying on the floor

[Dolphin80]

I know just anxiety but it’s hard.

Thank you all for your support.

do you have lots of photos in your phone.on your way to the meeting you could look over them and think to the happy memories when they got taken.something like that will help settle you down.

Hmm maybe that could work. I could look at pics of my daughter.
