Hi everyone.Well we have booked our holiday to devon on the 12th May.
This time last year I was having a really bad time of it .I had come off my meds and was in a real anxious depressed state.We went on holiday and I had a rotten time.My partner thought he was going to have to bring me home from devon,and I thought I was going to end up in hospital.I didnt realise the horrid nasty thoughts I was having was down to anxiety,thanks to this wonderful site I found this out.
Well we have decided to go back to the same caravan park,so I can lay a few demons.It was a lovely site over looking the river,but I was so poorly I didnt enjoy any of it.So we are going there again.I get separation anxiety as well when I go away from home.I am in a way looking forward to the holiday,but I know I will be anxious before hand.I get myself really flusstered,getting all organised,get stressed out.I need to do this,other wise anxiety would have won
I would like to also say,my parents went away last weekend and my partner stayed with me,but on sunday I asked if he would mind if I stayed on my own for the night.That was a massive thing for me.Being 40 and never been able to stay alone.I felt really pleased with my self.Had the dogs there,but found myself checking things like the doors ect.But I did it My partner Richard kept his phone by his bed and so did I,but didnt need to use it.And didnt panic
Thanks for reading this,and thanks for all your support since I joined,you have all made a difference to my life.
