what was I thinking

[Daisy425]

I have no clue what I was thinking when h agreed to go on this cruise. I felt obligated because it was my boyfriend family and his sister might be getting engaged. J have been so anxious the last few days. My biggest fear is hitting a rough patch or a storm thst causes the boat to move a lot and I get sick.

I understand the anxiety about travelling coz I am terrible. But having said that when I have conquered my fears I have always had a great time. When you get older like me its the good times you remember and the regrets at lost opportunities.

I wish I had someone to go on a cruise with and I am so envious. Don't think negatively but instead concentrate on what a wonderful time you will have. And you will.

I definitely believe we have to challenge ourselves when it comes to anxiety, we have to face our fears. It also has to be the right challenge i believe. Im not someone who can tell people just to go for it, thats just me. Ive travelled and felt anxious and crappy and yet really enjoyed certain moments that made it all worth it, its usually a combination.

Is it worth it to you to go through the crappy feelings to experience positive ones on this trip, is it something you really want to do?

Do you feel like this is the right challenge for you at this time?

I feel like it is too late for me to back out of this trip

I understand. I dont want to discourage you. Im older so its probably easier for me to change my plans, i dont worry about disappointing people as much.

Is everyone really counting on you being there, if you werent there would it bother them as much as you think?
