Went out to a bar with a girl HB9, went outside, threw up. Sorted myself out. Washed mouth (found mouthwash in hotel room near bar.) Came back continued date and kissed her at the end of the night. I didn't feel very anxious the whole night, until I thought I was going to puke. I enjoyed the process of the date and wasn't outcome dependent. I've been on antidepressants for depression and anxiety for coming up for a year and really thought I'd overcome the physical symptoms of my anxiety.

How do I learn to control these? I saw the doctor yesterday, he offered no advice yet continued exposure. I'm not sure how many girls have patience for me to disappear on dates for 15 minutes at a time...

The girl continued to text me, and took the mickey out of me - I'm not sure she knows if I was sick or not, she knew I suffer from acid reflux. She hasn't texted back since last night but I'm just going to give it a few days. I'm slightly worried one of my 2 friends I have told may told her I was sick , I'm sure they haven't though as I do trust them.

Any advice on controlling this anxiety?

You might benefit from speaking to a psychologist.

But in your daily life I would normally say be honest but I don't think everyone will understand that you were on antidepressants or you suffer from anxiety. Maybe you can have a plan of attack. When you start feeling these feelings excuse yourself and tell ykur date you need to use the restroom...to poop or something. I don't know...if this was anxiety that didn't involve medication then I would give you solid advice...but consider that a factor. Just my 2 cents

My only advice is to continue putting yourself in situations that make you anxious until you become desensatized to it. That worked for me, though I never had anything close to what it sounds like you have. But you get props from me for doing so well given the barriers. That's a good job.
