Anxiety over a holiday

Not looking for a cure, just tell me I’m not alone.
Ive not been away for a long time due to a relatives ill health and death, and so now I’ve booked a weekend away with a friend. I’m excited to go, we get on well, it will be nice. However, since we’ve booked it I keep getting thoughts of ‘what if we’re ill and can’t go, the money will be wasted’, which I immediately push away. Then I’m waking in the night thinking all sorts of stupid things about the holiday and what disasters might occur at hime while I’m away. I can’t get the thoughts to go away.
I know it’s anxiety, but it’s just bloody annoying, spoiling something that should be good. Will this ever go?
Yes I’m on HRT

You are not alone, it's hideous. I worry so much about it that I don't want to go. In fact two years ago I actually cancelled a holiday I really wanted to go on.

Mine is a little better recently. I've gone up a dose on HRT and I've also been taking Lions Mane.

Thanks, will look at Lions mane.
I’m also thinking of going back onto magnesium L Threonate to see if that will calm my brain. I currently take glycinate for sleep.
