I’m going to on a date tonight, I’ve got social anxiety and I cannot calm myself down. I really don’t want to mess things up and have a panic attack. Please help.

Hi this is Shnookie. Start doing some deep breathing. Lay down on a couch or bed. Prop up some pillows take a damp wash cloth and move it over pressure pointslike your templates. Try to call someone close to U. Everybody in this group

Supports U. I’m always here for U

Sending love ❤️ hugs 🤗 and good karma to U

I'm not sure how you react in a panic attack but I sweat so the only thing I can tell you is just be yourself and do what you do. If your date can handle it then your good. If not then try a valium before you go. Take care of yourself. Blessings

Best of luck with your date!

Worst thing that can happen is it doesnt work out but the world won't end if that's the case.
