OK so Thursday I'm supposed to go on a 2 hr road trip w/ the ex (we're still friends so it's cool, nothing uncomfortable) and then come back Friday, so really not much of a trip lol. Anyways I am having all the usual worries. he's letting me drive, actually it was his idea and had nothign to do w/ my emet/panic so that was cool even tho we're taking his car. I just worry, I think I may chicken out and I hate doing that and letting people down especially since he will be driving 1 1/2 hours out of the way to get me. Then I think I may panic or v* or whatever. Then I think because I was on antibiotics about a month ago and then again (just finished thsi w/e) for my stupid tooth and it says that up to 2 wks after finishing diarrhea can occur so I'm what iffing that even tho Ive taken this antibiotic my whole life and never had any problems and even tho i ate a yogurt today (late preventative lol) I worry cuz the times were so close of taking them and because I didn't eat yogurt while ont hem this time. AHHH! I'm enough to drive myself INSANE!!!!! I know how stupid and irrational I sound and Mary already helped me w/ this and soem other issues w/ this but I'm just freaking crazy! So I guess this is just a venting about my own insanity! I mean i know you guys go on trips, further trips and are fine but I'm sucha freak!

For the diarrhea, mabey you could pack some Imodium just in case.Do you take anything for anxiety? It may help for the ride down . I think when you get there you'll be just fine but, at least for me anyways, it's always the anticipation leading up to a trip or an outing that is the worst and I can usually have fun once I've reached my destination.

Two hours is really nothing. I am please don't sweat it. I went on my first 4 hours trip last May for the first time in years, and I was a little panicy, but when it was done, I kept thinking I was nervous of that?? Please try not to worry, you will just worry yourself sick. Bring some bottled water, mints, crackers to help you just in case. And plus if you have a big jug of bottled water, you have an excuse to stop...just in case. I hope you have a good time, and don't worry you will be fine.

Thanks guys! Well, it's changed a bit now. We aren't staying over so it'd be 4 hours total. And I might not be the one driving on the way back. But since all of this he even realized that mileage wise and time wise it'd be easier for him to just go straight there from where he lives (an hour and a half away from me) and then come here to visit after so this may have been for nothing HA HA! Figures. The diarrhea thing, the only reason I thought of it is the leaflet and I've been going more than usual (not diarrhea or anythign tho) also the leaflet says don't take and OTC meds to stop the diarrhea if it occurs w/in 2 wks of taking the meds. Weird. In a way knowing it wouldnt' be overnight makes me feel a little better. But tot op it off I went to class today as I do everyday and a girl in there was tlaking about how she is feeling ebtter. We talked yesterday too she said she'd gotten food poisoning over the w/e but then today she said it was either that or a tummy bug but leans more towards food poisoning. Anyhow tho it concerns me she never left in the middle of lcass so any v* would be over by then. i dunno just one more thing for me to over analyze. thanks again guys! Sorry I'm such a pain!
