I guess I'll post this here since my anxiety has to do with most of the issue at hand.
I learned today that I have the chance to drive to Colorado for two weeks in June. Yeah not much notice. I would stay with my cousin in a 5 bedroom home in Vail and get to see so much...Vail, Aspen, taking a drive to the Grand Canyon for a few days and so forth. Yeah, that's the great, exciting, wonderful, to good to be true part. (Not to mention I have not been out of my state on vacation in years.)
But....Isn't there always a BUT? LOL
But, I am suffering from severe anxiety and panic disorder. I am so bad that I rarely get out of the house most days and if I do, someone drives me or I go to the corner store. I have just started Prozac for this and take klonopin on a regular basis to just get some sleep now and then. I have a four year old who has never been out of this state either. I have a mom who has just experienced a minor heart attack not more than two weeks ago and wants to drive this whole way. Uggghhhhh! Lots to think about here. I have a hard time functioning most days. Anyone reading this who also has anxiety and panic issues knows how hard it is to get thru each day and to be traveling 100's of miles out of your comfort zone for three weeks, caring for a four year old, and not being able to get AWAY from about 12 other family members AT ALL is scaring the bloody hell out of me!!!!
I have to make this decision soon. If I go, will I make it through? Or honestly I could have a meltdown here folks. What kind of plan can I put together to make sure I don't fall of the deep end? Can you think of any words of wisdom for me? Any advice? (Im just sick thinking about it and am going to hide under my covers now and never come out, LOL) HELP!
