Okay, first stop and take three deep breaths!!
Okay, now let's analyze -- you have to go to the meeting or you'll get fired. Well, financial security is important, cause it's hard to eat right with no money!! So might as well go to the meeting.
Do you have any meds or stuff with you? Equalactin, Gas-X, even just plain Tums? A small soluble fiber snack will help too -- tummies are gurglier when they're empty. Can you eat a piece of bread, a plain bagel, a banana, anything like that?
What about your peppermint tea? Can you get some?
Finally, there's no law that says you can't explain that you're not feeling well but didn't want to miss the meeting and you're sorry but you may have to leave the room once or twice. I know it's scary, but it's better than suffering in silence.
And for the future, you might want to try the hypnotherapy tapes. Yes, this is a type of mild social anxiety that a lot of us suffer from. And the tapes have helped a lot of us tremendously.
And remember to breath during the meeting. "Eat when you're hungry, drink when you're dry, but never stop breathing, lest you die!!" That was my FIL's favorite saying!!
Good luck, sweetie. Let us know how it went.
