    “what’s the worst that could happen” when you reach for alcohol vs simply talking to people and letting yourself naturally settle.

    I’ve literally done this hundreds of times. I don’t enjoy it. At best I’m just on on edge. At worst I’m having actual panic attacks.

      I have Panic and Anxiety. I know the feeling quite well and it I don’t always overcome it.

      Like anything else, it’s a skill you can learn.
