The amount of l-theanine in regular green tea is way too minimal, even on "organic" brands.

Matcha and sencha tea have a huge amount of l-theanine balanced with caffeine, but that gives more of a study-combo effect.

L-theanine in itself should do good since it helps upregulate GABA receptors, which might work like a light benzodiazepine on the long run without any of the dependency effects.

Good luck!

Back when I was in uni I terribly suffered from anxiety before and in the middle of exams. My heart was pondering, palms sweating, I was trembling with my whole body. And of course all this shit prevented me from doing my best on exams. But one day I read somewhere that meditations use some sort of deep breathing (I'm not exactly sure what it was and where I saw this, this is not the point). And when I suffered next anxiety attack before exam I tried to breath deeply. And it worked somehow. Since then I developed some sort of breathing routine which I use then I feel anxiety. I take very long deep breaths (around ten breaths in row), they are so deep that my ribs starts aching. After that I feel little dizzy but my anxiety usually grows considerably smaller.

>Isn't taking a deep breath weird when she is checking you?

That will be strange indeed. I have never thought about using deep breaths apart from tough moments in uni or work. And I mostly do this than I'm alone. Well I'm not totally socially autistic ether I simply don't like all sorts of exams. About girls, maybe this is silly advice (and keep in mind that I'm still virgin) but I'm feeling way more confident when I look in straight in the face/eyes and I keep doing this until I feel myself more relaxed. I do this one minute on average. I study hes face, her makeup, how her lips is moving then she talks to me. Of course my response in this minute sounds a bit tense and crumpled but after that minute I usually feel myself normal and don't have problem in following conversation. I feel like I need to break through some sort of barricade and after that things go smooth. And if I try to not look girl in the face I won't go through this barricade. This is not so autistic in reality how it sounds here.

I haven't tasted sencha tea but it's apparently of lower quality than matcha and looks like hay.

Matcha tea is soluble and drank in small amounts (literally half a teaspoon). It smells "natural", kind of like grass. But it doesn't taste that bad, it's even a bit sweet.

It used to be a ceremonial drink in Japan apparently, and it's expensive and effective as fuck. I'd recommend you the theanine exclusively though.

Your anxiety is probably really high if the puking has something to do with it.
