Struggling with anxiety on holiday

I am a lifelong sufferer with anxiety and in 2009 it became chronic for a long time and I ended up in a depression - I realise they are interlinked. For me though it's really bad right now when I'm on holiday and this is not the first time. I have a lot to deal with; my relationship is breaking down and it's causing me stress - my partner had been causing me stress for a long time as he was not supporting me and the relationship was very toxic...I have chronic IBS and all sorts of other ailments and they had been piling up on me over the last 6 months - I didn't realise that it was the anxiety surrounding my crumbling relationship that was probably the cause of all my physical ailments. I thought getting away from it all for 2 weeks with my children and my dad would recharge my batteries and make me ready for the coming months ahead that no doubt will be very stressful..but the opposite is true..my anxiety is totally out of control..I can't settle here and I just want to go home...where I am there is a heatwave and it's giving me even more anxiety..I don't know what to do with myself...I'm wondering if I'm the only one who when going on holiday their anxiety gets completely out of control...

Yes I as well suffer from vacation anxieties. Flying,driving,new areas are all triggers . Get good sleep 😴 and take some xanax as needed. Good luck
