I get anxiety travelling sometimes - it happens when I'm not driving, and has also happened on a train journey. I think it's the feeling of speed and not being in control. Even though it makes me want to get out, it does pass quickly if just let it wash over me.

Yes it is an anxiety symptom. Look at the positives...you did it so you should be proud of yourself for that. The more you do it the easier it will get xx

Yes of course. Situational anxiety is very common. GI sx are also super common for anxiety.
