When I get real high anxiety I get terrible stomach cramps. That's sometimes lead to dry heaving. So in school I used to lie and say I need to go to the bathroom. And I will go and sit in a stall and not do anything. Just try to calm myself down until I'm able to refocus and pretend that everything is okay with me.As I got older I became better at it. Where friends wouldn't know that I'm having this issue. I would calmly get up from the booth or table at a restaurant and go to the bathroom in. Hang out in there. Doing breathing exercises and trying to calm myself down.

Now I am becoming aware that these are just terrible sensations. And going to the bathroom is just telling my body that there's something I should be concerned about. So now I'm trying my best too sit with those uncomfortable sensations. And know that they will pass and I am okay.

Wishing you love and healing 🫂❤️
