travelling with anxiety.

[miami]

Hi.

Just wondered if anyone had any good tips for travelling when you suffer with anxiety? Every time I go away I'm ill with terrible symptoms until I get home it always ruins the break and now stops me from going. Has anybody else noticed this and if so any idea's please.

Hi

I use to hate going away but not to bad now.

Have you tried listening to some relaxing music or maybe a book to take your mind off things.xx

The problem is I think I'm so worried about being ill away it always happens suppose you just build it up. Being away should be enough to take your mind off things but start wondering the what if's etc etc. Don't think I could cope with going abroad that would really freak me out worrying about be in a hospital abroad.

There is a very good book called Overcoming Worry.

I'm reading this at the moment. It teaches us rethink certain things and not think of what if's.

I would recommend it

I'm reading this book at the moment too. It's very good. I read it and think that's me ! Xxx

Hi

Again i would suggest a book or something to listen to. Perhaps you could try something like rescue remedy That helps to calm me down. Also thinking forward or back if I'm on my way home of the things I am going to do or have done helps. Looking out of the window also helps to take my mind off their fears.

I agree. With what others have said,reading,listening to music and deep breathing help me x

Hello,

Great advice already given by other commenters. I find music to be the best option for myself.
