Going out of town need help please.

I'm going for a family trip for my fiance birthday this weekend. Something I used to love to do. Going out of town that it's..

Now I'm excited to go but scared of a panic attack or anxiety attack. Like in the car on the way there or while we are there.. I love going out of town so I'm confused as to why it's hard now. Well did have bad experience part time we went had cannock attack at dinner and it made my fiance best friend wife bad and we had huge blow out.

So I'm nervous that I'm gonna panic again. I'm in need of some tips to keep calm and relax if you have any I would love to hear them.. I'm fighting with myself inside that I'm gonna be ok but still in the back of my mins I'm thinking I'm gonna panic or have an anxiety attack. Please help I don't want to ruin my fiance birthday and we are going to a place I love to visit.

thanks in advance.. Love and rockets all!!!!

Thanks..

I think thats what I want so bad to be a better old me.. And I just want my family to enjoy this weekend and not have me ruin it..

I know all to well about going somewhere and wanting to go because you love going but not wanting to go because of anxiety.. I just want this to go away and let he live my life.

I know it's going to be trying times because thats what life is kinda but living with anxiety makes it so freaking hard to cope with anything you know?

It's so crazy how this came on all of a sudden and it has taken over my life and I feel like I'm on edge all the time. Short temper no patients and always tired. I'm sick of it I want my life back.. Thats it..

There is still YOU beneath all of this anxious thinking. The other day I was going somewhere that I usually love to go. I was fine with it then I thought about how I've been for the past 2 months. What a kill joy. I was instantly put on guard and considered not going.

I went but I took all those anxious thoughts with me. We are still there waiting to come out and live again. We must remove those outter shells a little at a time until we surface again. What you are doing this weekend is a step in removing your shell.

Hey E.

Thanks hun I think that could be it. Thinking I'm going to have something happen. Why is that I mean yes I know I have health anxiety and panic attack with some type of depression and I don't know where that came from. But now this can't do what I used to love to do which is travel. I love to travel.

But I'm gonna take your advice and hopefully it's gonna be ok.. I really don't understand of I'm scared I'm gonna panic our have anxiety attack why I'm still exited to go??

"C", I know exactly how you feel. don't even think about it. This is all anticapatory anxiety. Thinking the worse is going to happen. I am sure you will be fine.

I've done this to myself hundreds of times only to have nothing happen at all except that I had a good time. You'll be ok.
