Hey everyone, Happy Valentine's Day! Recently my anxiety has been through the roof and in trying to deal with this phobia I've realized that I think maybe my fear is more fear of the anxiety rather than the v*. It's been such a long time since I've v* or even felt nauseous. The last time I did v* (which was probably 15 years ago) I had my first panic attack ever. And I think that is what caused my phobia. Lately I feel like I need to accept that v* will maybe (inevitably) happen someday especially since I've been crowded by noro at work and I was wondering if anyone had any insight on a couple of things: -when you do get sick, do you have any coping mechanisms to feel better and more comfortable (I.e. Listening to music) -have you ever tried anything maybe like a natural supplement or medication to reduce anxiety in general? Or just anything to reduce anxiety? Any insight would be much appreciated

I like to use my essential oils. Lots of options for anxiety and nausea. Also it's just fun and takes my mind off of things. Of course if I am in a real panic not much helps. Just try to distract myself.

Idk about actually being sick, but when in a panic attack I always remind myself that it's a temporary sensation; that my body is responding to what my mind thinks is an emergency, though it's not... And that it will pass. And it does 😌
