I'm meant to be going out with my best friend tonight who i haven't seen in 2months due to my social anxiety. Ive been up all night gipping and feeling like i was going to be sick, it was that bad i couldn't even lay down. When i woke up this morning it wasn't that bad but i started with the runs! I'm hoping it will pass, has anyone got any tips or what foods i should be eating to reduce symptoms?
Thanks
xx

Hi Cath,
Does your friend know you have anxiety, if so, let her know to take it steady with you.
For food I always like a poached egg before I do anything stressfull, its a good protein and helps steady the blood sugar.
And stay away from sugar, caffiene, alchohol, usual bunch of stressor foods.
No i haven't ever got round to telling her, as she's quite narrow minded so there's never been a right time. I don't know why i get so anxious, i usually try and go out every month and once im out most of the time it's great! It just seems to be the lead up to it.
