Hi,
I am doing something absolutely crazy for me and booking 6 weeks in Australia with my sister....I have a chequered history with anxiety when on holiday. Have had some ok hols, and some truly terrible ones. I am completely TERRIFIED of this trip and becoming less and less sure I am right in pushing myself to do it. I HATE flying, not the actual fear of flying but being trapped on a plane. I'm going to split the very long journey up as much as possible. But I also freak when I get there, cos I'm so far away and I CAN'T just 'go home', it's the lack of control. I know I tend to settle and it gets better as time goes by, but I am SO scared of the whole thing.
Perhaps I should cancel? We haven't booked flights just yet. I am so very scared, I don't think I can do it. But I am sick to death of anxiety ruling my life. Why is everything so difficult. Does anyone else ever feel like this? People just don't get it. They think I'm scared of flying and say oh but just get through it and you'll be fine once you're there - well, no, sometimes I'm not. I'm really, really not.
