Travel

I'm interviewing for a new job atm, I really really want it, but it involves a percentage of travel. I will travel 2 hrs into London each day, then to suppliers dotted around London and beyond.

The one thing I struggle with, because is also have IBD, is travel.Do you struggle with this?

 How do you cope? I'm hoping my meditation and mindfulness practice will be enough to allow me to attempt this new role, but I'm very unsure about how I will cope

  • Thanks guys. I've been a little better with WFH this year, but any stress sets me off. But the thing is, I'm going for my all time dream job that I've worked for 15 years to get into, it's an amazing opportunity, and the job I'm in is very stressful and makes me depressed. So we've discussed it and I'm gonna give it my best shot, and hope I can handle it (I think I know how it will end, but I owe it to life to give it a go at least).

    Just wish my fear of transport would lessen a bit before I start. It's tough feeling afraid on the move

  • I don't like crowded buses and tubes either...but a further thought...I used to go through Italian vocab or crochet socks (the whole family got socks and I have draws stuffed full of my original designs, lol) on the bus to cope. I'm not suggesting you try those things, but do you have a calming special interest which is portable enough for public transport?
