View Full Version : hols
i'm going away in august with my auntie kinda dreading it cause i know panic stations will be on full alert all the time i am there but then i know i need a break as not been on hols since i was about 6 or 7 anyone got any tips for stopping myself from having a racing heart and not been able to sleep as this is getting me down now never mind when i go on my hols
leanne
Use rescue remedy, relaxation tapes, eat lots of fruit and veg and take along things that you like to do and will distract you like books, snacks, etc. Hope you have a great time!! :D

Hi Leo,
Glad you're getting away for a break
Read through the sucesses page to see how others have been after going on holidays they originally dreaded.

You will be able to do it I am sure but start relaxation now and start trying to face some of your fears and places that make you panic.
Loads on here have had great successes at holidays so please read their stories to give you some motivation.

Hey leanne,
i've just come back from holiday - spent the whole of last week dreading it and it was fine in the end. i took an emerency panic kit on the plane with me (rescue remedy, lavender etc) as well as lots of distractions - books, music etc.
i wish i hadn't worried about it before going now, but obviously these things are easier said than done!
as meg and nic say, there are lots of useful threads about this, check them out.

hi 2wks then i go away panicing like mad about it as dont want to seem as though im a nutter but hey guess thats normal for me
Hi Leanne
I went awy in May for a week to France and honestly say it was the turning point for my recovery - I have got better and better everyday since my return.
I dreaded it before but went - had a great time with only a few anxious moments and survived. Going away again next week for two weeks ans I cannot wait :D
Go with an open mind and an emergency kit for just in case of any blips.
Have fun.
hi leanne,
i went on holiday in april for the first time in 20 years, i was abit anxious before i went (the usual anticipationary anxiety) but fine travelling and during the holiday. try and look forward to having a break, some sunny weather, different things to do and ppl you usually meet are nicer and more relaxed because they are on hols.
you might get the holiday bug lol, ive been away twice more since, take care .. andrew
Leanne,
I hate travelling on the motorway, hate being away from home and hate being around people I don't know. Soooooooo, have booked a holiday in Devon, at a holiday camp, and I go on 6th August!![:O]
Haven't been away since 2000 but my son has just completed his GCSE's and my daughter also needs a holiday so we are doing it for them really.
I'm worrying about it already and also worrying cos I have to leave my animals! [:I] But, I'm sure once I actually get there I will have a lovely time and not want to come home as I'm sure you will too. Where are you going and for how long?

thanks sarah its good to know i have ppl i can rely on
Hi
I feel exactly the same as you do but I know that I have got to do it if I want to get back to normal. I am looking at going away the same time as you so we could lean on each other for support. I do not know how I am going to do it but just that I have to.
Nicola
Leanne,
I'm going to a Haven camp as well! Which one are you going to?

Leanne

You are not alone and i hope you have a great time.

Your anxiety is the human representation of the pictures that you paint using your many vivid colours of revolving and reoccurring thoughts.
How big is your gallery ?

It is not easy to find happiness in ourselves, and it is not possible to find it elsewhere.
thanks all for the lovely welcome bk and nic yeah i have loads to catch up on and dont know where to start lol
I can so relate to this holiday anxiety. As some of you may know it happened to me recently quite badly but I went and did the opposite of what my mind was telling and went, despite the panicy feelings and no sleep. Now I'm back I feel refreshed and have at last had 2 nights of full sleep. Now I am getting on with my life as normal. I also have a very bad phobia about flying which doesn't stop me but sometimes adds to my fears.
