Hi leslie, You go on holidays once you get there you will feel much better and the change will take your mind of the PA. You are only scared as you are thinking about it to much, you said last time you had a bad holiday? Its not the place that gives you a PA its you. It can happen even if you dont go anywhere so please dont spoil your life and end up with agrophobia too. If you dont go you will feel so down that you didnt try. An holiday will make you feel so much better and proud that you went when you return. I know its so hard but beleive me dont put anything off becouse of anxiety, this will only make the anxiety worst, Go and enjoy, take care. Vernon

hi Leslie,

You have to go!! You can't let Mr. Panic beat you!! The anticipatory anxiety is always the worst. Once you get there, you will start to have a good time and forget about your anxiety..

Hi Leslie,

Just remember the saying about your safe place being with you wherever you go.

Like Vern says its not the place its us. This could be just what you need to refresh you. Sometimes what's got me out and about before is if I already feel bad at home then I havent got much to lose by being out then.

You have a lovely time - then tell us all about it when you get back.

Love Piglet :)

Hi Leslie,

I know exactly how you are feeling!

I went away for a week in August to Devon, and for the whole of the 6 week period between booking it and actually going, I was in a right state.

However, on the Saturday morning when we went, as soon as we left home I wasn't half as bad. I too had tried to think up excuses not to go, but I had a brilliant time once I got there. I wont deny I didn't have a few little panics, but I coped with them and was so pleased that I had gone.

Have a lovely time, Leslie!
