    Default Hmm does anyone else feel like this?

    I'm going snowboarding in the mountains Thursday with a friend & then we're having a sleepover.
    I'm freaking that I"m gonna get sick, or get a sv* or SOMETHING and not be able to go/get it there.

    Does anyone else experience anxiety when you're looking forward to something?? Like when there's a big event or experience, you automatically freak out about 'what if this happens and it ruins everything?'


    Needing some support.. haven't felt very well today or yesterday but it has been a stressful few days. Bought my first snowboard && i am looking for a job to pay my mom back (I'm 15) so idk if that has anything to do with it.
    Anyways thanks for your support and answers!

    I know exactly what you mean about experiencing anxiety when looking forward to something, especially things like holidays! I spend ages in the weeks leading up to it thinking "what if?" and then of course the anxiety in turn makes me feel ill anyway. It's frustrating!

    Yes I feel that way any time I have to do anything outside the house. I always worry about getting sick on the way, when I'm there, on the way back, etc. It's torture! I can't enjoy anything and every day is sooo difficult.

    Im the same way but i also worry about work. Im the type that hates to call off no matter what and there are days I work alone where it would be a big hassle if i had to call off so my anxiety goes way down the day before i know im working with someone and its no big deal if i have to call off. the holidays were very stressful to me worrying if i would make it to our family gatherings and worrying whether i'd be sick xmas day since i have a 4 year old. Heck, im already worrying about our vacation in april and wondering if im gonna be ok for the 24 hour car ride and the 10 days we are there! Its a never ending cycle! LOL
    Everyone needs someone who understands!
