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. However, such feelings that linger over time and are very difficult to cope with, and which lack a clear cause, may indicate...
Could I have some suggestions of how to overcome this please?
Thanks in advance.
I have a travel related anxiety that is closely associated with my health anxiety.
Car journeys up to about two hours are fine. Train journeys are harder and plane flights are a big no no at the moment and I haven't flown for over 11 years. Anything away from home is difficult.
The further from home I get the more vulnerable I feel and more anxious I become, sometimes resulting in a panic attack. I was asked to go to Liverpool and Leeds for work. I had to say no.
In my mind I see myself having a panic attack and I am fearing that, therefore avoiding it.
There is a clear avoidence there to my anxiety problem.
This I'm afraid extends to going on holiday.
I'd love to be able to relax on holiday.
When people ask on holiday 'Have you come far today?', I say 'No, not far at all'. I live in Surrey, the furthest I have gone is Devon. And as lovely as Devon is I find it hard.
Help please anyone?

Just wanted to give a thank you to Mid, Arfie, Malibumark, Greeneyes, Mlro, Girlincalif, and Suncloudjd! You all always have such helpful tips and advice, but I always forget to write on my posts when I see you post, lol. I would lose my head if it wasn't attached to my body, lol. Thank you all so much! I'm starting to use my AI app as a sounding board again. I used to use it as that before...

They would be 20 years old. I was R**** on June...
I'm confused. You list travel modes, etc., like a travel veteran, then you say you have never been further than ? ? ? Assuming you are speaking of the UK Surrey and Devon, less than 300km? ? ? I'm a road warrior and have tons of tips on how to handle the stresses, etc., but specifics count for allot. Travel anxiety comes in allot of flavors and levels.
Whether you choose to share more detail, or not, gentle empathy on the travel anxiety. I've traveled for my entire life and still have to deal with travel anxiety, but staying in one place doesn't cure my anxiety, either. What's a nut job to do?
Welcome aboard.
