Where to start am doing a trip to Disney with kids tomorrow and the financial burden and all the planning have me extremely stressed out. Today am feeling nauseous and dizzy has been a difficult day as my wife is just as stressed as I am so that’s been fun but I can’t seem to break the something bad is about to happen like me passing out or losing consciousness as a way to avoid the real issue of the underlying stress

Hi

I think what you are feeling is normal stress I think I would be stressed about a trip to Disney with the kids.

Do all you can with your self help skills to help reduce your stress the breathing exercises which you will find in our resources section are very good at helping you ground yourself. I'm sure things are going to be ok relax and try and enjoy the day with your family the kids will love it.

Let us know how it goes.

J.G.,

I hope that your trip is going better than you could have imagined! You received great advice above from Hibee, so remember that in the event you do run into a challenge...you will have your coping skills to draw upon.

But hopefully and likely you will be to engaged in having a great time with your family to be bothered by anxiety while you're away!

Check in when you can. smile

We are like twins. We are in Disney now also and I also get vacation anxiety. I worry about getting sick and ruining the trip for my family. Try and stay in the moment. That’s what I am doing. Not easy but trying. Try and have fun and create memories. Reach out whenever you need to. Your not alone
