I just wanted to know if other people feel this way too...
I have alot of anxiety when it comes to going somewhere, like away from my house for a few days, sometimes even sleeping at a friend's home. It's like, I can't part from my safety zone, I need to be there.
I've never really travelled and watching friends go live their lives and have fun and go on vacation makes me really sad that I can't do the same because of my anxiety. Plus it makes me really nervous to be in close proximity to someone for long periods of time.
I feel like I'm really missing out.
Yet I can't help it.
Once i went to NYC for the weekend, and I cried, hyperventillated & had to call my mum six times before I could get on the bus!
It didn't help that the guy I was with at the time couldn't figure out what was wrong with me, and was extremely unsympathetic when I tried to explain it to him.
It was awful. The lesson however, is that I was fine once I got there,
and I pretty much tried to ignore him as much as I could.
Anyone else like this??? Does anything compare to the comforts of home?
