getting ready to drive to cruise ship

[Daisy425]

I am a mess. We are about to leave to drive to the dock where our ship is. I feel so sick right now. I’m so scared that any movement I feel is going to freak me out and make me think I’ll throw up. I looked at the marine forecast and it says 7-12 foot waves…I’m terrified. I can’t do this

[BlueAgave]

You can do this. Promise you won't look at that marine forecast anymore!

[Daisy425 in reply to BlueAgave]

I keep looking at it

[Alpakka123]

OMG, Daisy! You're doing it!!! 👏🏻 👏🏻

Now when you get to the ship, the sheer size of it will be enough to quell your fears! I did this route in 2000 (I was 18 I believe?). And then when you get on board, wow! You'll have a great time! I and the rest of us are SO proud of you for doing this! I remember that we were kept busy with schedules.

I’m really scared and want to back out I don’t want to do this. I’m freaking out and I want to cry

[Alpakka123 in reply to Daisy425]

Do you have some water with you? Please drink that if so. And then breathing exercises. Do some deep breaths with your diaphragm. This will allow oxygen to get to your brain.Are you in the car now? If so, look out the window if you can.You have an entire community with you on this trip.

Alpakka, your words are so comforting and soothing. You are right in that

the whole community is with you. Buon Voyage. xx

[Alpakka123 in reply to Agora1]

Thanks, Agora! I appreciate this greatly!

[Daisy425 in reply to Alpakka123]

Thank you so much. I have water. I haven’t eaten much

[Alpakka123 in reply to Daisy425]

You're welcome! Yes, please drink some water. I think someone mentioned in one or your posts that they have medical staff on board. This is true. The crew is good about taking care of their passengers.

Well done Daisy , how exciting , I wish I was there with you lol we all knew you’d do it, we’re all with you, as said do some deep breathing, breath in for 4 Hold for 4 then breath out for 4 until you feel yourself relaxing, you’ll be fine👍x P.s please don’t look at the forecast , and enjoy

[Alpakka123 in reply to Arymretep]

While she's busy, I'd like to say that I cracked up when you said of course there'd be tropical waves since you'll be in the tropic! No disrespect to Daisy here, but that was a classic!

[Arymretep in reply to Alpakka123]

Thanks lol trying to lighten the situation 🤣

[Daisy425 in reply to Alpakka123]

Haha the best is that means air waves. I sent it to my dad and he told me they do not mean actual waves haha

[Alpakka123 in reply to Daisy425]

😂😂😂😂That's awesome!

How's it going?

[BlueAgave in reply to Daisy425]

Yay! See, it's going to be good! You're doing it!!

[Arymretep in reply to Daisy425]

NIce one lol

[Turnipgirl]

I'm sure it will all be fine and you will come back and wonder what the fuss was for!

[CL3V3R-G1RL]

Listen that's anxiety talking to you. You are on a cruise ship those 12 ft high waves mean diddley to a cruise ship. You won't even feel them.

You got this girl. I know puking can be scary. However it doesn't last forever and sometimes you actually feel a little better. Also since probably haven't really eaten anything so nothing is going to come out.

But this will be a great story for you. Think it like a movie. Picture yourself as a character in a movie. What would you want your character to do? You want that woman to get on that cruise ship. So have a soundtrack playing as you travel to the dock. And when you board have a victory jam play in your head. Maybe something ska related. Everyone watching your character reach her redemption arch. She was scared but she face down those anxiety thoughts and got the cruise and had the best week of her life.

You got this!

🫂❤️
