Fear of going holiday

Has anyone went holiday even you have anxiety? Can you tell me how please? I'm longing to go for an holiday with my childrens but dare not do so, cos' worried about the attack, sometimes I thought of just hack care it, go enjoy  myself and started to plan something but  my fear or worried  will just come naturally ,my head will start to be very tense as if my blood pressure is shooting high, like I'm going to get stroke? I don't know why, I kept telling myself it's ok just relax, but the horrid feeling make me stop my planning again, my children is sad that I always disappoint them. I'm very sad too. I'm useless, my husband said you are not going to die just going for an holiday but I still cannot overcome all this disgusting, frustrating, toturting feeling. I don't want to live like that forever, life is meaningless if you cannot do the things you like!!!!!

you have to make yourself go for the sake of your family, i hate going on holiday cause i feel safer at home but it isn fair on my family and at the end of the day if your gonna panic it dont matter were it is, but i would much rather have anxiety laid on a beach in the sun!!!! i usually find my anxiety subsides a bit while im on holiday cause your too busy playin in the pool etc jus just grit your teeth and be brave enough to go you will be so proud of yourself

I believe many of us have been there at one time or another when suffering from anxiety.  This throws complications into our lives, including our vacation time.  My first bit of advice is to go; if you have a panic attack it will pass.  I know it is easier said than done and it can be very scary to leave your comfort zone, but in the long run it is a good thing to do.  Do not set overreaching goals for this; going is a HUGE step in dealing with this in my experience.  Keep us posted!
