Hi guys
I have a problem (ha ha). My husband and 4 kids are really looking forward to a weekend in the new caravan with friends in the lakes. We have been on numerous camping trips pre-anxiety and they are great fun. Lots of games, drink and merriment. However, this time I don't feel safe. Anxiety is new to me and I feel very vulnerable - the thought of being stuck in the middle of a field when I think I'm having a heart attack is making me even more anxious.
But then so is the thought of letting my family down, who have been really supportive and also need a bit of light relief. Also because of medication can only have very small amount of alcohol - everyone else will be "on it"!!!
Also fears of needing hospital treatment and nobody in fit state to drive me there. Silly I know but is there a compromise? I know we are told to do different things, and stick to pre-arranged plans - don't let the anxiety get the better of you and stop you doing what you want to do etc. BUT we are also to be kind to ourselves and listen to our inner thoughts - do what is comfortable - HELP???? xx
