Hi all,

Since I last posted Ive managed to spiral down into severe anxiety episodes that have been occuring any time of the day or night. Joint with crying spells and a feeling of dispair.

Im now in the airport to go on holiday for 7 days and feel terrible. Ive been up since 4am and just been dropped off by my girlfriend. Im with a friend who knows im not well but not to this extent. Im not sure if i will last 7 days without needing to come home.

Any tips on what i could do to get through this week? I have my mirtazapine tablets which ive been off for a month but feel like i might need to be back on them.

Thanks

Take your tablet and read a magazine or plainly distract yourself.Going to Airports as they are crowded can be a trigger.I cannot imagine life without Xanax.

Focus on how you have time for yourself and your health for next week or so.

just positives nothing else.

Hope you have a good holiday with a friend!!

Good luck!

Keep posting!!

Thank you.

I will try taking it if things get too much. I really dont want to have to go back on the medication though as i was hoping to recover and get back to normal without it.

Yes ,we all hate meds but sometimes we need them for our sanity and those around us.

Try other things also except meds that have worked for you in the past.

I know it can be difficult but try ,try again.

Where are you going for your holiday?

Hope I don't sound intrusive-just curious ~don't answer if you uncomfortable.

Have calming holiday!!!!

Ox,


You CAN do this!

I have had the same concerns when traveling...but you know what? I used my coping skills (Positive Mantras and Breathing Exercises) and I had no issues whatsoever...once I got on my way.

Enjoy your trip...and if you do run into any challenging situations...draw deep and use your meds/skills. You are stronger than you know!!

Keep us updated as you can...and we'll keep you encouraged!

S.C.
