My anxiety triggers that I know of is stress and a large consumption of caffeine. I am really good a managing my anxiety but this just tipped the scale. So long story short a coworker female, a lot older then I am asked me out on a date. I get along great with her and everyone else I work with but I do not treat her differently from anyone else. I do not find her attractive. I thought she was joking when she asked, so I replied jokingly about it, “is there going to be free food?” Then followed up with are you serious? I started having a contained mini panic attack and started making excuses why I can’t instead of I am not interested. My final response to her was IDk. This really put me in a very uncomfortable situation, and triggered my anxiety. I contained it well, but It got to the point where I felt nauseous. when I got home and ended up throwing up. This hasn’t happened to me before and I really don’t know what to do. I see her everyday that I work.
