I’ve got to travel 137 miles this Saturday. My dad is picking up a stair lift for my now disabled mum. Originally my brother was going but he’s now cancelled because he has a house viewing and is selfishly not going to cancel it. Unfortunately all my siblings are so selfish, my other brother is always claiming to be ill and in pain, so he won’t go either. So it’s down to me to go.
My biggest worries with this are
- I don’t like travelling because I get car sick and constantly need the toilet when I’m in the car
- It’s a loonngg distance – I normally only travel about 10 miles in to town
- It’s a strange place, strange house, new people I’ve never met before
- I’ve got lots of What If thoughts like if stuff goes wrong on the way or when we’re there
I don’t want to go but I’m not about to drop my dad in it like this. I have the one saving grace that I’m nothing like my selfish brothers.
But I do have anxiety and know that the above worries will haunt me until Saturday morning.
Any advice on how to get through this?
