The first thing we all do is to avoid the situations which make us anxious. This is also the first mistake when trying to overcome anxiety and panic.

Don't avoid those situations because your mind will interpret them like some kind of danger and each time you will meet those situations, the fear and the panic will only grow.

The key here is to gradually expose yourself to the situations that you don't like because this way you will train your mind into believing that there is nothing to be afraid of.

So, the best thing you should do is to make that trip and see it like a step towards stopping your anxiety and panic.

Take care!
