Thanks @Rohag ;for the warm welcome and advice from past experiences!
My friend is aware that I have been struggling with depression and anxiety but I have been trying to hide my uneasy feelings about this trip because I don’t want them to negatively affect her experience or our limited time together... however, this is just adding to the stress. I’m afraid that once I get there I will be unable to hide these challenging aspects of my everyday life. It’s just really hard for me to accept my struggles and work on them... instead I get frustrated or feel guilty or constantly blame myself for creating such problems in my head.
I have a particular fear of feeling nauseous or ill while traveling which usually triggers an anxiety attack due to spiraling thoughts of poor health and feeling trapped. So any tips on how to overcome these thoughts while traveling?

My friend does know I’m struggling with anxiety and depression but I have been hiding my overwhelming feelings about this trip because I don’t want to negatively affect our experiences with the weight of my mental health. I’m just so frustrated because I want to just enjoy traveling and seeing my friends like I used to.
I’m particularly nervous about feeling uncomfortable away from my home base, getting a trapped sensation while traveling, or becoming ill/nauseous. These things often trigger my anxiety attacks and they are also common occurring things while traveling so everything is just stressing me out right now about having to leave.
I wish I could be free of this constant weight and just have genuine fun again. It’s almost like I’m either too dull to care about enjoying literally anything in life, or too anxious to go out and enjoy life when I decide I want to.
