feeling uncertain

[Daisy425]

right now I’m watching a movie with my boyfriend and his mom. I talked with his mom earlier about my anxieties and I felt better. She said if I feel sea sick she’ll walk outside on the deck with me. She reassured me that I’m going to be fine, but I know that no one can guarantee that. I was able to eat two slices of pizza which is good. I am Just feeling so anxious again and before I wasn’t. I want to feel normal. Maybe I shouldn’t go

That is wonderful that you shared it with her and that she offered you her support.

Daisy, I'm so happy that she is kind and understanding of your feelings.

It's got to be nice to know she will be there for you. xx

Hi Daisy 425. It sounds like you are getting a lot of support, on here & IRL. That's amazing you spoke with his mom- I think it's a sign that part of you wants to go. I know the what it's feel very huge & frightening, it's one of anxieties favorite things... I get them too. They are even worse when getting ready for something big, like a trip. Prepare a little toolbox for yourself. Have you meds, things to help with sea/motion sickness, anything that helps calm you (a stuff animal, favorite lotion, comfy clothes, etc), a journal. You are going to be fine. We're all cheering you on.

I hope you do decide to go. You are in a great position with your boyfriend and his mother. She was very supportive. Congrats on eating 2 slices of pizza.

Notice your anxious feelings melts away when you talk about it? Rather than keeping it in your mind.

Makes me think of that song from Lee Ann Womack "I Hope You Dance"

I hope you go. However the choice is ultimately yours.

You will have support either way 🫂❤️

Wishing you peace and happiness 🫂❤️

Either way, we understand your discomfort and wish you well!

Daisy, I hope you choose to go as well. Thank you for sharing. I hear eating helps on cruises. I used to keep a snickers bar next to my bed. Try and enjoy yourself

woke up just now in the middle of thr night anxious. I want to do able to do this but I’m scared of rough seas and feeling or getting sick

[corgi_fan817 in reply to Daisy425]

I hear you. Had the same fear the last time I went on a cruise. I have a sensitive stomach. You can’t control the things you are worrying about right now. Not knowing your boyfriend and his mother I am sure they will be understanding if you do get sick on the trip.

[Daisy425 in reply to corgi_fan817]

Did you get sick?

[corgi_fan817]

I felt queasy but never more than that.

[Daisy425 in reply to corgi_fan817]

Do you like cruising? I’m so scared

[corgi_fan817]

I do like cruising. I feel it is relaxing. Can't wait for my next trip. Hopefully, you will feel better when you get aboard. Where are going by the way?
