I’ve been excitedly planning this trip for the past 6 months. I’ve poured hours and hours into researching what I’ll see and do. It’s been one of the biggest dreams of my life to visit Seoul. This will be my first time out of the country and that too solo. I fly out in 48 hours and am having a panic attack, totally sick and nauseous to my stomach. I feel like calling the whole thing off.
My brain keeps saying I’ll feel nauseous the whole time and won’t enjoy the trip. That something will go very wrong or something will happen to me on the plane. I also have health anxiety and fear being out of reach of my health care system. I worry that my IBS will flare because of the food and I’ll be searching for bathrooms in a city I don’t know. That I’ll just be having anxiety attacks in a hotel room. I guess I fear situations where I don’t have an easy out, even though it’s just 10 days. I know I’ll very much regret not going after the anxiety passes but I just feel so miserable at the thought of getting on that plane at this moment.
Anyone ever had travel anxiety and thought to cancel their trip? How did you put together the courage to still go? Maybe this is a cry for help to you guys on this sub to push me to go.
