Entering or I should say re-entering the dating field isn’t easy, especially when your a single mom. Experiencing date anxiety is not uncommon but it can be very scary, then I heard that Panic Away had a One Move Technique that is really suppose to help you calm down.
I always dread the “first date” because I always feel stricken with panic. Will he even want a 2nd date? Will he meet my expectations? Will a guy want to date me with kids? Will he really learn to love and care for my children? When should the kids meet him? Will the kids like him? Does he have kids? Will everyone like each other? And do I even have the time to date? Or what if I never find somebody? The list goes on and on. All of these thoughts can make me feel extremely anxious and insecure.
When I’m faced with my first date, my heart starts beating fast, I feel light headed, I stutter on every word, one anxious thought turns to another and I find it hard to breath. My hands get so sweaty and I know my voice is trembling with each and every word, there have even been times where I’ve even had to excuse myself and quickly exit to the washroom to try and calm myself down which never seems to work. I thought with the more dates I had it would eventually get easier, but it hasn’t. These panic attacks are exhausting and leave me feel helpless and lonely. I’ve even avoided going on some dates at all because I’ve felt so sick to my stomach.
My friends have noticed it’s beyond just being nervous and are concerned about my anxiety attacks.
I’m so tired of feeling this way and now I’m at a point where I really want to get help. I want to appear much more relaxed on my dates and not worry so much about the “big” picture but just take it one step at a time and have fun. I took a leap of faith and began Panic Away, I’m so excited now that I’ve started. I am hopeful that I can beat this anxiety and I am confident that when I’m finished I can experience a good time on dates again.
I know that I’m doing the right thing by confronting the fear and I am confident that I will no longer suffer from anxiety and dating.
