ok so im going on this ski trip with my school to vermont, america. ive been excited about it for months and im actually really looking forward to it. its just the travelling, i used to get travel sickness and havent experienced for a while but its my vomit-phobia that comes back every time i travel. ive got a 5 hour coach journey to london, then a 9 hour-ish flight from london to new york.
i take travel sickness pills but they sometimes bring me out in a rash so my mam said i shouldnt take them.
i get so worked up about it i nearly had a panic attack in the ski shop today. i really dont want to have a panic attack or be sick on the journey there because it makes me depressed for a while, and i really want to enjoy my trip.
has anyone else been in similar situations or have any advice?
it would be much apreciated. thanks.

I have this same fear of getting really anxious and getting sick in front of people. Also my sister used to get motion sickness too so I've always been anxious that I would even though I only have like once and that is because I made myself so anxious. But because of this I get scared to go on vacation with other people including school trip and I even get anxious about going to amusement parks because I panic about getting sick on the rides. Thing is, I never do. I think it makes it worse though when you constantly think bout it and worry that your going to vomit because then you actually start feeling like that. What has worked best for me is like a mind over matter thing. I just tell myself I feel great and healthy and happy and try and pretend like I'm totally care free. No matter how sick I feel I force myself to act fine and not think about it. Bring something to completely distract yourself and talk to tv other people with you to. But whatever you do don't sit there and think to yourself, "omg I feel so sick I'm going throw up." it just makes you more aware that you feel bad which will make u even more anxious and then you probably will. Sry this is so long but I hope it helps some!

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
