I have been seeing this guy for like a month. I get anxious every time we hang out. I have yet to go out to eat with him, I'm so nervous about it. When I get anxious I can't eat. I hate living with so many restrictions :(

I also can not eat when I am anxious. It does make going out to dinner a challenge. Do you know why you are so anxious around this guy? What is your thought process? Are you scared he is going to hurt you? Are you scared he will find out you have anxiety? The answer is in your thoughts. Once you know what your thoughts are (probably negative thoughts) you can change them so you are not so anxious around him.

In the anxiety support group AdventureGuide has started a Monday Support Group thread to help others overcome their anxiety. Here is the link to the week 3 thread which is turning negative thoughts into positive thoughts. I hope it helps you http://www.dailystrength.org/c/Anxiety/forum/17909013-support-groupweek-threenegatives-positive
