I have had a rough couple of weeks of increased anxiety, panic, and depression. Part of it is due to a series of lay-offs at work - I'm not worried about my position, but a general feeling of insecurity is rotting my stomach and giving me headaches. The slightest disruption in my day-to-day activity is making me cry, and we are preparing to go on a quick vacation to England on Saturday.
I scared stiff of "losing it" while I'm over there. I'll be do the driving, which I'm fine with, having done it for years; but I don't want to ruin this trip for my husband. As it is, he's bewildered by my setbacks lately. I don't want to be a wet blanket, and I want to have fun. Why do I have such a feeling of dread in the pit of my stomach?
What can I do to shore up my psyche so it's an enjoyable week?? (I'm OK about flying, it's crying and panicking in public that's I'm freaking out about.)
