Hello all
I've never posted in a forum like this before, nor have I actually ever spoken about what I'm about to, because I worry that my husband/family just don't really understand, and it is difficult to articulate I suppose, but I will endeavour to explain myself!
Basically, my main issue seems to be with anxiety/panic when it comes to travelling places. By this, I don't mean I'm afraid of flying or driving or going on the Tube, it's just the entire ordeal, usually prior to the actual travelling. The general feeling I get is my stomach starts to go a bit wild, and I feel like I'm going to vomit, or cough too much and then vomit, and if I don't have any water to sip then I will do just that. I suppose it's a feeling of being trapped, and not being able to get away to actually *be* sick if that makes sense. So for example, when I'm in the queue for security at an airport, and there's nowhere to go, if I don't have water I just start to retch. I think it must be entirely psychosomatic because it can't be possible that I am physically ill each and every time I travel. Once I am out of that situation, I start to relax a little bit more, until the time comes to get on the plane and I'm in a queue there.
I don't know if I have managed to articulate this very well at all or get across what it is that I feel, but if anyone has had similar experiences, I would be very happy to hear about them. I'm not sure if it classed as 'travel anxiety' or not really, because it happens even if I'm going to be in a taxi for a short journey.
Thank you for reading.
