on a day to day basis, I have my anxiety basically under control. I live a normal and mostly happy life. however, when i step out of my comfort zone i usually have some amount of panic. this weekend, my boyfriend invited me to go on a six hour drive to a different state with his siblings their significant others and some friends. this should be fun right? well to me, its terrifying. only because of the fear of panicking in front of people who might judge me or think I'm severely ill and not see the real me because of it. the biggest issue is that when i panic it goes right to my stomach. i sometimes throw up or need to go to the bathroom asap. it gets very hard to explain why I'm dry heaving or why I'm silent and holding in throw up. this is only in extreme anxiety but it has happened in front of people. I'm so afraid that his family will pity me or find me weird.
I've been through therapy and I'm on meds, but something like this comes around maybe twice a year and really sets me off. any ideas for the stomach or how to act around people if i panic?? anything is appreciated :yesyes:
