Travel terror

June 3, 2009 · Leave a Comment

I am visiting relatives. I have put this off twice (why can’t they visit ME?)

I don’t like traveling but this has been made far worse because of various other factors; I am feeling ‘fragile’ at the moment. Tiredness; I didn’t get any sleep last night.

The usual stress revolves around

  • what if I have a panic attack on the train’
  • what if I have a panic attack there and want to come home immediately?’

I don’t sleep the night before of course. All my onling friends desert me. Eventually at 6 or 7am I fall asleep. I have to be leaving at 1.30 and set the alarm for 12.15

The train is packed. I sit in a reserved seat expecting  to be ousted at any second. 

The spaced-outedness (not in a nice way a stressed, confused way) will hopefully ease when I have a proper sleep.
