Hi guys!

I am traveling tomorrow to South America and my anxiety is just awful. I actually went to the doctor last week and they check my blood pressure, cholesterol, kidneys, liver, glucose etc etc. All normal. Then my doctor assured me that my heart is fine because I can take 3 miles walks and exercise without getting winded or getting any chest pains.

But the thing is that I feel so crappy that I am so scared... I guess it is the same thing every time I go home but I feel so overwhelmed and scared that I may just drop dead. My back hurts, my chest feels tight and I am just jittery; I took a Klonopin but still cannot really calm down. Any suggestions??

Thanks!

Kind of the same boat. I'm driving to Vegas this Friday for a bachelors party and just riddled with anxiety. I think the best method is to focus on the good times you'll have when you're there.

Hello dear,
Sounds like you have done this many times before so knowing what to expect is a lot of the battle right?
This should be a fun trip for you to go home.....let it comfort you.
Maybe try focusing on your list of items to travel with.
What about some calming music? Do you have time for a massage or a long spa bath? Try to focus on something enjoyable today and get the mind focused only on those things.
Doctor says you are fine so try to trust his judgement. Keep repeating to yourself what he told you. That is great news and comforting to know.
Blessings your way.

Hi AK,

I am sorry you are feeling anxious about your travels. sad I know this is frustrating when you just want to feel well and be excited about your visit.

Use of positive mantras, breathing exercises, journaling...and some good distractions should keep you as comfortable as possible.

You are absolutely going to be fine...but I understand how hard this is to believe when the anxiety is speaking louder than rational thought.

Keep reminding yourself that your doctor's report is FACT...and that your anxiety tells lies...and can only cause uncomfortable symptoms...not actual harm.

Sending encouragement for peace and calm!
