Update On Travel Phobia

[gordiescotland1]

In the end I decided not to go a bit embarrasing as I told so many people I was going and have had to backtrack now and tell them I havent gone. Nobody was really surprised. I am feeling pretty low and hiding away from people at the moment until I feel better I have decided defeatist as this may sound to accept the fact that I cant travel and stay where I am with my lovely cat. I dont see the thought of putting myself through this anymore. I am going to save up some money over the next few months and try hypnotherapy for this phobia it may help. Thanks for everyone who tried to help I know anxiety and mental health issues are not everyones cup of tea and there is a lot of confusion about them but all the answers I have received have helped and it is just nice to come on to a forum like this and just speak about things. You are all a really lot of nice people.

A word with your GP would not go amiss regarding your travel anxiety, Gordie.
He/she could point you in the right direction to overcome it.
Yes, many kind, thoughtful people on here.

To have made a decision not to push yourself but not to give up and have a goal is helpful and will relieve some of the stress.

hey gordie i was thinking about you today. You only need to accept that you couldn't do it *this time*
It doesn't mean that things can't be better for you in hte future
