Anxiety and Travel

So it’s holiday time. For many, that means travel, which frequently includes massive headaches and stress. This year, I get to travel. I don’t tend to cope well with travel. I have an anxiety disorder which makes me stress out unnecessarily. It’s only made worse when I have to travel with the family. I get so bent out of shape for nothing! I can’t explain it. I just flip out. That’s why it’s called a disorder! If it made sense, it’d be no big thing. I’d hate to be around me on a day like today.

So, yeah. Today promises to be a ‘fun’ day. I hope the bar is open in Newark during the layover.

I’m looking forward to the trip, though, and will be so glad when we’ve arrived. I haven’t seen my parents in a year. They’re always fun to spend time with. And we’ll be in the mountains!

And there will be no mass spectrometer. No in-laws. Heck, maybe I’ll actually have a chance to have a private moment with the husband, with whom I seem to never connect of late.

Well, that is if I don’t kill him before we leave.
