Hey Guys
Has anyone got any calming advice or has experienced this? I have suffered from anxiety and panic for about 7 years and although it is pretty much under control at the moment, when I am stressed I get really bad so dating is really hard. I have a 3rd date with this nice guy. On our second date I had a total meltdown (he didn't realise thank god). I have developed this anxiety about having my drink spiked because of a date I went on over a year ago where I came over really faint. I was probably ill but I scared myself silly and now I can't seem to get over it. I want to enjoy my date and not feel terrified. I am in my 30's now and don't want to be single anymore but it is all so terrifying. I woke up at 5am in a blind panic. We are having a daytime date so it should be even less scary and it is our 3rd date now.
Any words of advice would help.....
