I have a job that is now asking us to travel to places, now that places are opening back up. I took on this job during the pandemic so travel for the job wasn't a thing until now, as they originally just told us we would have meetings with people virtually.

 I have always had some travel anxiety but I can manage it when I travel with family/friends. For work though, I'll have to travel alone which is something that I have never done. Every time it gets brought up in a meeting my stomach drops and it almost makes me feel like I am on the verge of panicking. Driving is somewhat okay for me, but its the thought of flying alone that's really getting to me. I don't know if its something to mention to my boss or not, because I don't want to risk anything with my job, but just thinking about traveling alone brings on heavy feelings of anxiety. For some reason traveling alone almost feels unmanageable to me. My parents tell me that I feel this way just because it's new and after doing it once it probably won't be so bad and I'll learn how to manage, but I can't help how anxious I feel right now just planning it out, and I know it will get worse the closer it gets to having to actually travel. Anyone else go through something like this? Any tips/tricks/resources?
