On Vacation.

[4seasons]

I'm here in Orlando right now with my Dad, 2 step sisters, my sister, and step Mom and I have absolutely no anxiety. At first i had a little because i haven't seen any of them in almost a year but it went away. We have gone to like 5 theme parks and i can walk threw crowds and stuff without feeling awkward. I bought a drink today from the vender and i was very friendly. I have no idea what it is but i feel like a normal person and i hope I'm the same way when i get home. Anyone else have another experience like this? Its weird. Maybe its the sun or the fact I'm on vacation and away from work and not as stressed.

I feel the same exact way when I go on vacation. I'm not exactly sure why but it's a great feeling. I'm glad that you don't have any anxiety while on vacation and hopefully it helps you when you get home.

When I went on vacation about a month ago, I didn't have any anxiety until I got about a hour away from my house and I started to have panic attacks. It could be from stress, like you said.

I feel better when I get away from home. Whether it be a vacation or just for the day. I still have SA in crowded places but it improves. I think because our minds are focusing on something else and your doing something you enjoy. It really helps to change a boring routine once in a while. Our minds are diverted to something other than our problems.

I've just come back from a short break, and i felt quite confident as i travelled alone and had to use my initiative and i felt proud of myself. Now i feel down in the dumps again.

Thanks for the replies. I love traveling. Just being able to see new/different stuff. We made a stop over in Toronto for a couple days and i loved it there, i think i might make a move out there when i get my life straightened out.

Got home last night. I was actually surprised how fast my anxiety and depression set back in. ne of my bags went missing so i had to talk to this girl at the air port and she couldn't even understand what i was saying. I couldn't look her in the eyes either. I'm not looking forward to work tonight.

Yes, I have experienced your feeling. It's great! I've thought of going to university in a foreign country in hopes that it would help me socialize better. The only thing is, is I don't want to be stuck in Australia, alone, in a cramped apartment because the stress of being away from home made my SA worse. Anyone ever tried this? Or even just gone away on your own for awhile? What happened with your SA. Was it better, worse, not affected? I don't mean with family, I mean on your own
