Hello, Mighties. I have booked a holiday with my mum (who is aware of my anxiety, chronic fatigue, ibs and other issues), leaving on Sunday. Initially I was looking forward to it as a chance to have a decent rest, but I have started worrying about the travel to get there (a train journey for 40 mins, a 3-hour flight and a coach for 40 minutes at the other end). I've woken up the past two days with thoughts of how I might have a panic attack on the plane, or have a bad stomach... and this has ended up with me having a bad stomach and feeling panicky already 🤦🏻‍♀️ I wondered if anyone has any advice on how to manage these thoughts and feelings? I think if I manage to get there it will be great and I can relax... but I'm feeling so nervous about the getting-there. It's cost a reasonable amount of money, and as we booked last -minute I don't think we can cancel or defer. Thanks in advance for any advice or tips at all. I've been doing some breathing exercises and meditation, but still feeling pretty horrible 😔 [Picture of a bee because I've started embroidery in an attempt to calm my mind , it does help but doesn't get rid of the anxiety altogether unfortunately!] #MentalHealth #Anxiety #IBS #ChronicFatigue
