I haven't worked from June 2009, and It seems like I have become as you described. I hope that at some point I will want to be in the world again. I have realized that I have to make my self get up, and out, and it can be very hard for me to do. I hope, and pray that you make your self take this trip. Once you have started to go, like get to the airport, hopefully you will get excited about your trip.
I’ve traveled before many times. Part of the problem is I have a lot of alone time to think and this becomes self defeating. The thoughts are generally anxiety ridden reflecting what can go wrong. I’m very frustrated at this point because I’ve gone through years of therapy and meds and hoped that I’d be much more comfortable in my skin. I hope you can figure out a way to get self motivated - I know there is no magic bullet and you need to be the cure. If I sit here and do nothing it will be bad news health-wise. Perhaps I’ll use that as a stick. Bottom line is I need to do this or become something I don’t like very much. Like I said good luck and stay as mobile as you can 👍👍👍👍
