cruise next week

[Daisy425]

next week I am going on a cruise with my boyfriend and his family. I have been on a cruise before but with my family. I am scared of getting sea sick from rough seas. We are going from NYC to Bermuda. Last summer I went on a. Girls trip to Nashville and I struggled a lot. Since then I have done outpatient group therapy along with my regular therapy session. I want to be able to do this but I leave a week from today and I’m getting anxious and my boyfriend is getting frustrated with me

Hi Daisy425. My biggest problem is with traveling. What I can suggest is to bring a kit of comfort items that you can use if you're feeling anxious. Maybe something you can smell like lavender drops, hard candies and if you're afraid of sea sickness some dramamine. Just a few items that can help your anxiety. Just a thought. Always remember there are medical personnel on board if you are in need. I hope it turns out to be a wonderful time for you.

The recovery group I attended had several people advocate having contingency plans and pre-prep emergency kits. I realize it's a pain if you're going to be on a ship with limited space for a suitcase, but you know yourself best pack a few things that will help ground you. Last big trip I was on I jam packed an iPod with tones of music, made sure I packed my good headphones, and always had my charging cable handy. Music really does it for me, so it helped immensely. Good luck! Have fun!!
