Severe panic of being in unfirmiliar places

[Pupps]

Hi I have never done this before but here goes. I have had panic and anxiety for 15 years and I have managed to have a relieve normal life by avoiding things that caused me to panic. I have a fear of travelling and I have my best friends wedding in Thailand and I really want to be there. I leave tonight and have been anxious for the last 2 months about it. I feel if I get to another country I will lose control of myself because of panic and will be stuck in a forign country. I have slot of support from my wife and friends but I still feel horrible . I want to do it to see if it will open doors for me but it just makes me so uncomfortable.

Thanks for listening

Hi scaredscot,

I got close but just couldn’t get there. I spent 2 months anxious and panicky about the whole event but I was working on just letting Be what will be . I took a short flight and stayed there over night and flew back 3 week ago and it was extremely hard but I did it and I was so proud and felt The wedding was achievable. It’s just hard now I have that feeling of defeat. I will get back on the horse but it has been a set back that’s for sure.

Appreciate your reply
