Going on holiday

I have always struggled terribly with going on holiday, being away from my house and bed for a night is a huge trigger for me as is the change to my routine and going somewhere unfamiliar.

The thing is I am so interested in other countries and dream of travelling and seeing places like Germany and Switzerland and Holland that I have only read about in books.

My question is, are there any coping mechanisms any of you have found to help you go on holiday or go travelling? Just wondered if there might be some things I can do that can help with this as I really want to do it

  • The only trouble with me is that the more I plan something the more nervous I seem to get. 
    The only way I can have days out in this country is to do it spur of the moment on the day, if I decide to go somehwere in advance I have a panic attack and cant go. Unfortunatley, this doesnt work with going abroad as I have to decide in advance
