Hello!! Travel Anxiety

[Georgie1985]

Hello to all, thanks for reading my post & any thoughts will be greatly appreciated.
I don't even know of anyone here suffers with the same thing as myself but here goes!!
I have major anxiety about going on holiday, whether it be abroad which is 100% worse than going away within the Uk, but even a night or two away in my own country I never really seem to enjoy.
I don't want to go on too much, incase nobody here can understand what I go through.
Thanks again, & any messages welcome..

Hello. I'm Heather...nice to meet you. I have recently developed a fear of being far away from home over the past few years. It seems my depression and anxiety is shifting into this Hodophobia now. I'm afraid to get on a plane and if I leave what I call my safe zone which is no more than a couple of hours from home, I am plagued with immense anxiety. I am struggling to force myself to get on the Auto train from DC to Florida around the holiday too. I hate that I have this problem...the panic attacks are still there too if I'm in a large crowded event. I was having panic attacks all my life but didn't know what they were. I want to be able to travel so badly...I love the beach and want to visit the tropics but am loosing hope that I'll ever obtain the skills to conquer and control my anxiety. I wish you all the best. I hope we can both travel for the holiday and actually enjoy ourselves.:)
