Holiday Hell!

feeling any better?

My husband has done that to me. I ended having a good time most of the trips. Make sure you really dont want to go fear can cage you in so badly you can end up missing out on wonderful things. In terms of the agoraphobia situtatiin you need to learn proper breathing. They have bellybio available to help with that its a basic biofeedback to t ach proper breathing. Stop worrying about threats that would be a terrorists goal. Your anxiety is your own oersonal terrorist really. Bad things happen in this world all the time they just report them more and make a big hype for political reasons. Airports check out stuff pretty well now. Once in a ling while someng goes awry bu mostly it does not. Thats why it makes th news. You might end up loving your trip. Maybe ask your doctor for something you can take on the plane for anxiety. The only way to combat agoraphobia is by facing it over and over and allowing whatever symproms to fire to fire away. Its better then caging yourself in.  

 

Mayb if u go ur anxiety will get better..face ur fears. I know it's hard..I know..but who better to be with than someone that loves you and can help u through this..I think u would end up having a great time..I hate missing out on great things because of my anxiety..I try to stay positive and push myself..sometimes it wins though..hope u get though this..

Hi

I have been trying to keep up with all the wonderful and helpful posts here, and wanted to thank you all, so very much.

Things not good at the moment, I am panicking, tearful and extremely anxious.  This is not just the holiday, other worries that might have been tiny, now seem huge!

I had an assessment the other day, following my re-referral back for CBT.  That was a difficult 1/2 hour assessment, but they think CBT will be beneficial, again, and so I now have to wait 6-8 weeks for an appointment.

I have not yet sat my partner down and spoken about the holiday.  He works long hours, and the oportunity, in a calm way, has not yet presented itself.  I can't go at the end of the month, but I don't want him to go either.  I cannot tell him not to, but someone has suggested, that out of respect and love for me, he shouldn't go on his own, knowing what it is doing to me.  I really don't know where that leaves things, except for me being incredibly upset, worried, panicking, nervous and feeling sick.  This is how I am feeling all the time, at the moment!  I am ok, though, and will plod on through it!

Thanks again, and I am staying as strong as I can.  Hope you all having a manageable day x

Hi Everyone

Sorry, not been on here for a while now, PC problems!

Well, my partner went on our holiday, without me and, when he left, I felt I was losing all control!  We had a terrible row, he was acting extremely arrogant and just didn't seem to care how I was feeling.  As you can imagine, this just escalated my anger, and tears!

So, a week has gone and he is due back tomorrow.  I have actually surprised myself the past week.  I have still been anxious and had two panic attacks, but I have been able to "cope".  I have some lovely neighbours, who very kindly came and had a coffee with me, if they were going out, asked me to go with them, and I have kept myself so busy.  Now, here I am, once again, worried, sad, scared and feel sick.  My partner is due back tomorrow and I don't know whether I am feeling this way at the thought of seeing him, not wanting to see him, scared of a further argument, scared we may split up or just p'd off at the fact that he went at all! 

Difficult time and not feeling great!
