I’m anxious for my date
Yesterday I cried and I had two mental health appointments
And I went to the gay youth group
I’m bi
I don’t really wanna tell him any of that

    Hi @nem, I can hear how you're feeling anxious about your date. It's common to feel nerves before meeting someone for the first time, so you're not alone in this experience. For the things that you've mentioned, remember that you don't have to talk about these things if you're not comfortable doing so. You can do what you feel is right for you. I hope that the date goes well - we're here to support you through this!

    Hi @nem thank you so much for opening up about this. As @Azziman has shared, I see how overwhelming this is feeling, and it sounds like yesterday left you really, really upset.

    How did your two mental health appointments go? I wonder how supported you felt during those, or if you had the chance to share your feelings?

    We're here with you and you're doing so well to talk about this.

    Being afraid of not knowing what to say on a date sounds anxiety-inducing, and you're not alone in feeling this way. You also mentioned feeling frightened to tell him you're bi. May we ask, what do you imagine might happen if you shared this?

    It sounds like things have been tough lately with anxiety, and I wonder too how you have been taking care of yourself between these dates? What helps you to feel even a little bit safer or calmer?
