Camping Trip

[alfreddy7]

So I got a big camping trip coming up with my family in March and I’m kind of nervous.

I will be going to Yosemite National park which is about a 6 hour drive from where I live.

This will be my 3rd time going there and

I have not been out in a far road trip or camping trip since diagnosed with panic disorder.

Idk know how well I will be doing mentally.

I really hope it actually helps my mental state and get away from the city and the house for 3 days out in nature.

I hope you’re all having a great day today

It sounds like you are going somewhere familiar with people who are important to you. My guess is that you will be too busy being immersed in nature for panic to get a good hold.

What do you like most about camping trips?

Hi Rafiki11

What I enjoy most is the scenery. Not sure if you’ve ever been or seen how Yosemite looks. It’s amazing.

good luck on your trip wish it was me.think of the positive aspects of the trip like you said being in nature that will help you through.even look up the area and visually see the beauty beforehand and that might make you feel less anxious about it.
