Re: rant thread

Yeah... might be a bit late if your message has already gone out and you've heard nothing back but radio silence. But you're going to see or talk to these people again, surely? Take a deep breath and try to be calm. If you're seeking therapy (and it sounds like maybe you should consider it if your anxiety has reached the point of regular vomiting) then casually mention that you had a bad night, you'll be talking to a therapist about it soon, and then move on. Most people will follow your lead.

AYRT
Yeah, we should have a game night at some point next week, hopefully. I asume it will be brought up and it will be awful for a while, but I hope we can move on.

I am indeed in therapy at the moment. It's not really working, though. The therapist might not be the right for me.

Anyway, thanks for listening, and giving your insight to this matter.

You're welcome. A helpful thing for me is that there is a certain element of truth to "fake it till you make it" in anxiety. Obviously I'm not talking about repressing all your worries and not treating mental health issues here, but when you're in a social situation and freaking out, it can be really, really help to give yourself a moment, and try to project an air of calm. Pretend like this is a movie and you're an actor, and right now you're playing someone who has their shit together.

It's self reinforcing. When you manage to get through the social interaction just fine and people don't weird out on you (because they think you're doing fine and everything is cool), you start to feel like yeah, maybe I CAN handle this! And voila, your anxieties die back a bit.
