Anxious before holiday

We are going on holiday next week, we go away every year but I've noticed the last few times I get super anxious in the week running up to going as I'm scared something will happen that will stop us going, stupid right?
Does anyone else get like this?

Yes. Every single time.

BrutusMcDogface · 04/08/2024 11:30

Yes. I think that might be quite common?

I've been going abroad at least once a year since I was 19. So 47 years and I've always had this. It's definitely worse now but I think that's because I have a few health conditions and worry I will be ill before we go or while away.

I do feel better knowing it's not just me.
I think it's worse since COVID when our dream holiday was cancelled. Then in 2022 our car broke down on the way to the airport which was 10 mins drive away 🤣. We did make it on time after a lot of stress 😬

Yes I do as well.

Yes, every year. This year I was worried that I'd get my period and be ill as I often am. All was fine. I tend to relax once I'm past security. I think peri meno has caused it. Enjoy your hols.

Ah yes I love that feeling when you get past security and you can just relax.

I never used to get this but do now. It mainly centres around worrying about illness before I go or while I'm there. I've just got back from a wonderful holiday which I was anxious about before I went.

Thank you for your replies.
We go on Saturday and it feels surreal at the moment. Looking forward to getting an airport Prosecco.
