Holidays

Does anyone have trouble going on holiday I don't mean going abroad it's anywhere even the thought of booking somewhere makes me physically sick

Hi,

Yes I do Perrytan, but I can, and do go away with my family, sometimes it's a struggle, but I do it. I have booked a coach holiday in April, with a good friend, who understands me. I have been asked to go away with other people, but I like to have my own room as I feel pressure sharing with somebody else, i.e. they might keep me awake, snoring etc.

I usually know if I can go on holiday, because even the booking can cause me anxiety, and if I have a sleepless night, after booking, I usually cancel.

I hope you can book a holiday soon.xx

Hi,

I don't really know how to help you. It is ashame it causes arguments between you and your husband. When I had a husband I could go away with him. Don't blame yourself Perrytan, take should out of your vocabulary, but I am sorry it's 10 years since you have had a break. Can you go away for a weekend to start with, someone not too far away? Then you know you can come home if you don't feel right. Do you know what you fear? It is such a nightmare, why we should feel like this, I wonder it it because we are going out of our comfort zone, into the unknown, a break in our daily routine, I will write to a Professor who answers these questions in a booklet I subscribe to.

The process of deciding where to go and booking the holiday sets off my anxiety, lucky my boyfriend is very good at taking a lot of stress out of this process and does a lot of the hard work. On the run up to the holiday I also get stressed (especially if it's abroad), but I find once I get there and I know the hotel is nice etc that I relax a lot more and actually have a really great time. For me I think the idea of it is stressful, but if I push myself it's worth it in the end. I've got some great memories and seen some amazing things.
