Im filled with so much anxiety seeing my ex in public with her new man

Im filled with so much anxiety seeing my ex in public with her new man. I dont know how i'll react. Any advice on what you did to get over this, I live in a small town so its gonna be inevitable.

saw mine at the grocery store holding hands with the girl he told me not to worry about. i froze. left my cart in the aisle and dipped. it’s messy at first but it gets easier. swear.

i remember that panic. heart racing stomach dropping, pretending i didn’t see them while feeling EVERYTHING. it doesn’t stay this raw forever even if it feels like it right now.

once you face them, its gonna be easier next time. Focus on staying positive imagine that you will be calm and confident. if you are with a friend, pay attention to your friend. practise deep breathing if u feel overwhelmed. have an exit strategy in mind always if u feel its getting too much.

yeah exit strategy sounds good, I cant live in fear of going out in public
