Hello everyone!

For the last few years I was dealing with some hardcore general anxiety problems. Then last year, I finally decided to get help from a clinic and since then I'm slowly, but steadily getting better. I changed a lot about my life, including breaking up with my then girlfriend. She was a nice girl, but we wanted different things from life. Long story short, the relationship stressed me out a lot and I was immensely relieved when it finally ended.

Now a year has passed and in a few days I'll have my first date since then. Till yesterday i was looking forward to it. It made me happy and I wasn't thinking about it much, I mean it's just a date right? I'm not commiting to anything yet. But BOOM yesterday suddenly worries hit me in the face, full on panic attack. "Am I ready for this stuff? I don't know if I'm strong enough for a relationship yet. The last one stressed me out so hard and I enjoy being independend. But I also miss kissing and hugging and stuff. I don't want to stay single forever! But maybe I should cancel it, it clearly affects my mental health.. What the hell am I supposed to do? " Super irrational fear stuff

If I'm already panicking, just because of a simple date, maybe I should cancel it and wait a few months until I'm more stable for those things? Or should I bite the bullet and just do it? If I flee from this date, because I'm scared, it will be the same with the next date... I really don't know what to do.

Any advice?
