Going on holiday, anxiety through the roof!!
Posted , 5 users are following.
Hi, I've suffered from anxiety for nearly 2 years and it's just getting worse. I started with health anxiety now it's with everything taking over everything I do. I'm going to menorca on Sunday and I'm so worried, I haven't been before and I'm worried about what it's going to be like how I will be away from home. This week I've had migraines, chest pains, nausea, sweating. I'm on 10mg of citalopram, the GP wants me to go back on propranolol but I don't want to. I asked for diazepam to get me through the next few days but she refused.
Can anybody suggest anything else I can try?

Do you know if you can take rescue remedy if on medication? I'm on citalopram, but had a really, really bad today with yet another health anxiety. Thanks

try lying in bed tonight, get comfy and relax then think about it all from a positive perspective. Picture yourself ready and waiting to go to the airport all excited, picture yourself checking in and absorbing all the positive and excited feelings from those around you, on the plane that wonderful view, arriving in a new place with the sun beating down, the sights on the way to the hotel. For every negative thought your having now each has an opposite positive, so when a negative pops up flip it. Take time to relax, meditate and remember your going there to relax, why wait, start your holiday early
stay strong and have a lovely time

I would also ask the doctor for some xanax or valium and tell her you NEED them to get through the flight over and back, I know they usually give them out for flights
