Hey y'all, I'm a bit disappointed in myself. My family and I are finally going on our annual summer vacation skipping last year due to the pandemic, but I managed to work myself up this morning, out of nowhere my excitement turned to anxiety and "what ifs".

In addition to the stress of packing and cleaning before we leave, my mind and stomach are uneasy with worries about having anxiety while away from the comfort of my home and routine.

I'm trying my "tools", spinning the what ifs to be "what if all goes well and you have fun?" and "what if you don't have anxiety?" I was ok the last time we went, and I know even if I do have anxiety I'll be ok, but I just want to enjoy my vacation and not worry. I hope I'll get over it soon, but I feel so disappointed in myself that I let it rent space in my head.

Can anyone else relate? If so, what's worked for you?
