Play date is supposed to happen in the next hour and I'm getting cold hands and feet, lightheaded, short of breath, tension in my chest, desire to cry.....I took my xanax but it doesn't seem to be helping. I don't wanna cancel, but I might.

You can do it! Don't fight it, feel the feelings. Remind yourself that your body is sending a signal of danger, but that's all it is. Just a signal, you are ok! Tell panic that you see the signal, but aren't going to stop living your life because of it because that's all it is, a false warning. Hugs!

I know you're right MG.....I just don't know why it's so hard to believe in the moment....

I know, it is SO much easier said than done. I can say those words, but it doesn't mean I believe them all the time either. Practice makes perfect though. The only thing you can do is try! Let us know how things go!

My luck!!! Her inlaws offered to come take her son, so it cancelled itself and I took my son over to my mom's to play. I guess I got lucky. I'm supposed to go to Pilates with this girl tomorrow night, so I better force myself to do it.

When I have something that I am dreading I always make sure to have something to look forward to when its over! TiVo your favorite show or go out to your favorite restaurant afterwards! This will keep your eye on the prize and away from your dread...

Just my input! Hope it helps a little!
