Anxiety Support Group
Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another.

My girlfriend and I decided to go to Maryland for July 4th. I didn't want to go there but she begged me to go to the beach with her and she thinks I need to step out of my comfort zone more. Yesterday she told me that we would be going over large bridges and water (I'm not a fan either). The bridges weren't too bad, but we were arguing, running behind, i didn't like being in the car for so long, I didn't eat or hydrate properly. It was just a stressful day and made the drive so much worse. Trying to make the best of the trip because she deserves it.
Definitely need to plan more stops and hydrate on the way home. Also, relax.
Peace, love, happiness, and hugs to you all!

Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.

...and another day closer to Fall! Tra la la la la...Next month there is a Sasquatch Festival in my city! We're excited to go and get our picture taken with Bigfoot. Really!Have a great day, everyone -
I am pretty certain that you will be fine on the way back. It's always easier and less anxiety producing coming home, than it is going somewhere new. Hydration is always good, but you might not need to make any extra stops.
Have a good time! You made it there!! Good for you!
can we trade problems? i miss road life and, even with the inconvenience of a saltwater allergy. the maryland beaches sound much less irritating than trying to figure out what the townies (locals) in my current rut are up to today. yeah, i like townies much better when i know i'll never see them again.
sigh again. . .
stretching my comfort zone in staying put with the old rolling stones classic, "symphony for the devil" is playing in my head. . .

for what it's worth
you are not far from some of the most protected coastal wetlands in the world. if you can't appreciate the awe-inspiring nature of them, i hope you'll take the time to tune into some of the local politics regarding them.
You deserve it too. You deserve to enjoy a trip even with your challenges.
I just was watching the TV show “The Bear.” The main character has sort of an epiphany about not really ever having experienced joy or fun, due to his upbringing and career choice. He has this moment of awareness where he says, “If I could provide more amusement or enjoyment for myself, it would be easier to provide for others,”
I know it’s just a TV how but I was really struck by that sentiment and it reminds me how we are influences how others are when in our orbit. Like, if we are good to ourselves we are by extension good to others in a sense.
Here's to enjoying the beach weekend and to finding the joy in being there!
You deserve to enjoy the experience so let yourself be!!! Be as considerate to yourself as well as your girlfriend! She'll enjoy your participation and being happy!!!!
