Eebie Jeebies Awaiting Going Out!

[AuntieMoosie]

Thank you so much all

It seems that it's a very common problem then doesn't it?..........but........what do we do about it? that's the question

Annie that's a great idea, maybe if we all try and study it a bit and then share what we've found out, and, share what we've found that helps, that would be real good for all of us I think

Great stuff, Auntie M! You battled it and won!

It really does suck, the ruddy anticipatory anxiety. xxxx

[AuntieMoosie]

Thank you Debs

We will conquer it though hun

Well done. I know how you feel, I go exactly the same when I have to go to an appointment. Well done you for getting through it so well. You should be really proud of yourself xx

[Tessar]

you did well Auntie, very well. If a little one was screaming it would have gone through my head too!! This anticipation thing..... i can relate to that. OK, for me I'd get it not so much because i am going out but if I am about to go to the doctor or dentist then it would happen. Or if i do something way outside my comfort zone like i'm doing on thursday (getting on a plane). You're good though as its not stopped you. If you can still get out & about I guess that's the key.

Auntie Moosie, I wish I could get rid of this anticipatory anxiety. I get so anxious every time I go out but I know I am usually fine when I get there so why do I keep worrying? Maybe we will have to share tips and work on this one together

I am exactly the same, had it years, often get an upset stomach as well, Imodium is my best friend! I try to think of all the many times I've done the same thing I'm about to do and what happened, ie, nothing, it was perfectly fine!

I don't think I knew that anticipatory anxiety was so common. I thought it was just me lol. Well done, Aunty and keep at it!
