Hi Everyone. I'm 32 years old and been struggling with travel anxiety since around 25. I don't understand why travelling causes me to feel like this as I haven't really had a bad experience or anything.

  There was a point where I was doing better and able to travel a fair bit but now I feel like I'm almost back to square one. I have seen my GP who prescribed Citalopram(10mg) daily.

  My main symptom is stomach upset and having to rush to the toilet (diarrhea). I have no stomach issues apart from when I'm travelling or when I know I'm gonna have to travel the next day.

  I think the furthest I have travelled in recent years is 40 mins away as the thought of going further sets everything off. It's really getting me down now as I feel like I can't visit places I want  o'r attend events.

  I guess I'm just posting to see if any one has similar symptoms and how they manage it, and if they got better.

Thanks for reading.
