Holiday Anxiety?

I'm going on a ten day holiday in 6 days. I suffer from anxiety. I have just weaned myself off my medication & was feeling amazing until now. Horrific symptoms of anxiety already about my trip; nausea, stomach upsets, diarrhoea, trembling. Getting through this week and the holiday feels impossible right now. I'm not sleeping well either. I know quick fixes aren't going to help, but do you have any tips on making things more manageable? Thank you.

Hey! I just wanted to let you know I go through the same thing. As I'm typing this I have that exact feeling. Your not alone. Even going to the store, I have to plan the night before and the build up until I leave the house is unbearable. What I tried the other day has actually help not make it as bad. I put some music on and jump in the shower. This sounds totally weird but I sit down legs crossed under the water and just let the warm water hit my head. With eyes closed I just enjoy the warm water and focus on the music. Only down side is I enjoy it so much and it's so relaxing that I find myself showering alot! I hope this helps.. if anything you will be super clean! Lol..

Hello. I really feel for you anxiety is horrible. Have you tried deep breathing. If not try this. Place your hands on your diaphragm. Breathe in extending the diaphragm taking the breath into your lungs. Hold the breath for say 3 then exhale. It will calm you. Go on holiday it’s your first step to being you!!! Oh put a couple of drops on your pillow. Could help with sleep. Blackout eye shields are good for sleeping. Take care.
