I live with my mom & dad. My family is leaving Monday to go on vacation & coming back on Saturday. We are going to a beach that is 9 hours away from where we live & are leaving at 5am Monday morning & leaving early Saturday morning, so we will actually be there Monday afternoon - Friday.
I have been doing better with getting out & about around town - shopping, going to lunch, etc. BUT - it is still that constant "anticipatory anxiety" that I have before I leave! IT IS HORRIBLE! Once I GET OUT it gets better! BUT - I am SO SCARED to go 9 hours away from home! I am riding with my parents, so I can just sleep in the car, but that doesn't make me feel any better about being so far from home. It's like a "double edge sword" though - I HATE being at home alone when my parents go out of town. SO - Do I want to go to the beach & JUST DO IT or stay home & be miserable??
Also, have OCD really bad & it is SO HARD for me to pack to go anywhere! I can never decide what to bring & every year I always end up taking way to much stuff (like double the amount of clothes I need)! I can GET OVER THIS - I do every year, but packing literally makes me sick. UGH!!!
Any suggestions?
