Go on a walk and eat something nice. Occupy your mind with something else.

If it works out, it works out. If it doesn't, at least you tried. Think: "Will this even matter five years from now?" If not, and if that line of thinking helps you with your anxious feelings, then great. If that question doesn't help with your anxious feelings, however,, then just occupy yourself with something until you know your old friend's reaction.

[xanedis]

Just don't overdo it with food.

if it helps there's also this thread if you're looking for folks to talk with or need to get anything off your chest

We all have a bad day, some of us chew through it, some of us laugh it off, and some of us bottle it up. Here you can let it fly out, this is about giving emotional support to those who need it and not professional advice (unless of course someone really does have a background in the career). You cannot deride or be a meanie in this thread, this is meant to be a positive and uplifting thread. TL;DR Let it out! Speak freely and hopefully someone can give you advice.

Don't forget to take a few deep breaths and give yourself some reassurance! And like @xanedis said, keep yourself busy, that will make the time go by faster and hopefully make you feel less anxious.

Deep breaths! And remember not to overthink - sending a message to your old friend might be a huge deal for you, but maybe for them, they're just glad to be able to talk to an old friend ^_^
