This past week was really crazy. With three birthday celebrations, family in town, a desk full of work…. & preparing for a big trip… I am BURNT out.
It was all fun, but also, total sensory overload & yesterday- I crashed. I was a nervous wreck, so stressed, & on the verge of tears every 5 seconds.
I know talking about emotional issues is usually taboo, but it really really shouldn’t be.
I have shared my struggle with anxiety before, & I think not only is it good for me to be open… but good for others who can relate & need to hear someone else is in the exact-same-miserable-boat. CAUSE I know, a lot of people can relate. Anxiety is a common issue, & one thing that really helps is to TALK about it… find people who get it, share coping tips, & just receive/give support.
SO- yes, I am in a full blown cloud of anxiety lately. More specifically, travel anxiety. I know everyone experiences some sort of travel anxiety, but for me it’s near debilitating. Leading up to the trip I am a hot mess. It’s the plane, the delays, the not packing the right stuff, being away from home, being away from my dog, missing my family, needing something abroad that I can’t get, getting sick on the plane or trip, turbulence, forgetting something important, this list can literally go on & on & ON!
I see so many people on social media just jetting around the country like NBD & it makes me so jealous. If only it were that easy…
…. but it’s not, it’s very very very tough for us nervous nellies. The normal things people do leading up to a trip are near impossible (i.e. buying travel friendly shampoo bottles!), normal things in general are hard to do, & it’s just fucking all around awful. SO, I guess I just felt like talking about or I am reaching out for any advice- either way, thanks for listening & sorry for being a total Debbie Downer.
To brighten the mood, here are some weekend highlights! x, E
