Intense adrenergic response to dating
-
I have what seems to be an intense adrenergic response to dating. To combat this I have tried taking L-Theanine and Pregnenolone, neither has helped at all.
My pulse rises and stays above 100 leading up to and during the date, my limbs go cold, I shake, I am unable to loosen up and be myself and I feel this is leading to me struggling to build genuine connections.
I saw a girl I dated a few years back last night who I’ve always liked, I feel a strong love-sick/ cortisol filled feeling since seeing her.
Any advice to help me get this under control and improve my ability to stay calm in these situations?
I am otherwise calm and relaxed.

milk and sugar to stay calm. -
Perhaps need to address it more via mental health therapies than trying to medicate with supplements, if you're usually calm in other scenarios.
