Travelling!

Miffo

Hey everyone, Matthew here.

For a while now I have had issues with travelling in the car. I have car sickness medicen and yet I am afraid to go out in the car. Sometimes I can go out, but for me sometimes isn't good enough. I want to go out a lot but most of the time I can't bring myself to go out, and that's a problem because of my ill Gran my Dad finds himself going to see her a lot and sometimes I want to go with him but cannot.

I just wanted to know if anyone else has the same problems as me. And if you do please could you tell me how you manage to go out because for me it is a real issue, one I don't seem to be able to solve. I do have a fear of being sick but it can't be that because I have medicen so what do you suggest i do, does anyone else have the same issues?

Thanks to everyone who replies.

Regards,

Matthew. Smile

  • Hey Recombinantsocks,

    Don't get me wrong I do enjoy going to see my gran but she has Alzhimers. This means that she does not know her own family, she talks utter nosnese and sadly also has cancer. You're right, the staff in her carehome are very nice to her and my family. My dad never gets angry when I don't travel, he and my mum try not to put preassure on me, they say I'll go out when I'm ready but sometimes ready seems very far away...

    Sometimes I do look back on my best moments. Last year my gran was poorly and my mum went to stay up with her. When my mum was ready to come home I went with dad to go and get her and I didn't even take my car sickness medicen. That was a good day for me. I have some good travel days and I also have bad travel days, for me it kind of gets crushed once I feel bad in the car, it sets me back and I don't go out for ages. I'm going to do as you suggested, I'll try and focus on the positives and not the negatives.

    Thanks for your help. I'm really grateful.

    Thank you.

    Regards,

    Matthew.
