My policy has always been to be open about my struggles, so I must admit I have struggled a bit today with anxiety. Tomorrow I am going out of town (6 hours away) for a work training for the next 2 1/2 days. This training has gone on once a month since the beginning of the school year, however, this excursion is different from the rest. This time we are traveling MUCH further, and the team members are different. Two of the team members are not going along (one was my husband and the other was one of my best friends) so we have some other teachers subbing in for the other two. These changes make me very anxious! This fact is very annoying, but it’s the truth. I felt comfortable traveling when my husband, obviously, since he is my support system, and now that he is gone I feel uneasy.
I am just struggling to get my head in the right place for this trip. I keep telling myself that it will be ok, but my fears still come up. I know it will all be alright, but until it gets started and I settle in I think I am going to be a bit freaked out.
Thank you for listening to me vent! I appreciated it! Love you all!!
I’ve been struggling with bitterness today (I blame my Blackboard discovery of failing my Biology Exam 2 for that)

I’m pulling for you – sending out positive, anti-anxiety energy to you. I have always found that anticipation is the worst part. Be brilliant, as you are!

I’m so sorry you’re so anxious. I understand what it’s like when you expect something to go one way and then it doesn’t; it creates anxiety for me too. Just remember that you’ve gotten through your anxiety before and try to think of it as if you are going with your husband and friend. Also, perhaps you can still talk to them over the phone and that will help. I have faith in you, you can do this! Have a great time!

I always get anxious when travelling but slow breaths and listing things to be thankful for helps.
