You have found a great way to manage the anxiety Suzi.

When I was a teenager I loved going on the back of fast motorbikes and yet now I just will not go on one and I get anxious even watching people driving them in corners.  However, I had a friend killed on one and others badly injured.  My OH has a fast bike and I will not go on it.  He has had many accidents over the years although not for many years.  I would rather fly around the world!

On the other hand, my daughter and I both enjoy driving powerful or fast cars.  Yet, I cannot be in a car driven fast around corners by someone else because I had a very bad accident when I was 28 and fractured my spine and it feels as real today as it did then. 

I guess it's 'horses for courses' and we all deal with our own anxieties in our own way.

HOT AND SPICY - I believe you look hot and I don't even know you.  So pleased you are moving along the journey towards the fantastic holiday - warm, relaxing sunshine away from this mad and changeable weather we are having here.  Have a fantastic time.  Go by another bikini - so you can change and get the same reaction again!  In fact, buy a bikini for every day and match them with lovely sheer sarongs - your hubby will be watching every day for the new fashion show lol lol.   XX

You give me too much credit FIRE IM dreadfully scared but thank you
My 16 year old cousin died she came off the back of a Motor bike in 1978
So you can imagine my familys feelings at the thought of me being on one
I have to post on Facebook every Sunday night as they know I ride every Sunday so they know IM ok!

Gosh you have been unlucky and your poor pals who died was it that that stopped you?
I hate cars Ive had 3 car crashes the middle one they had to cut me out not one scratch I still ride in them though!
My kneclace emebeded its self in my kneck via the pressure of the seat belt that was painful trying to get that out

It sounds Fire like you dont like not being in control yes?
I have no choice I dont drive oe ride except a BYcycle hehehehe

Give me 4 wheels every time.  I've been on a motor bike twice in my life and that's enough for me.  Big car crash only once and it wasn't me who was driving.  Still have the sore back from that one.
Good for you with bikini H&S!  I've never ever felt comfortable in them, not even when I was slim enough to wear one.    Tried a tankini 10 years ago on holiday, but didn't like that either.  One piece suits all the way for me. 
For those of you flying, you are more likely to crash in your car than in a plane.  I used to get very nervous on long haul flights, in fact the first one we did I spent most of the time before I got on the plane in the toilet!!!  Now it doesn't bother me.

We have a 3 hour drive on Saturday to the seaside...i will be in the back with the dog....am stressing incase i need the loo....

[CLKD]

Won't the driver stop Stumpy?   How about a Shee-wee ...........    - you could always say that the dog needed a comfort break!

[Christine662]

Stumpy xx

[Christine662]

I never used to be like this when travelling....i know as soon as we get off our drive I will get the urge. Ive even asked to take me back home before now just as we are nearing the M6 so i can go....not a popular lady on those occasions.

[Christine662]

i shall practice from now Mrs P ...thanks

I've just read all 9 pages of this and it has given me the courage to go off and book a holiday! Only 3 days and on my own ................but..........onwards and upwards.

We are off on Saturday for a week. Not really very far at all...a couple of hours drive north. I have not got a clue why I am anxious about it but I have been jittery all week. I think that the last holiday we had was such a nightmare (daughter had the worst case of chicken pox) that I now worry something similar will happen. OH has not got a clue that I am wound up.

I just feel a bit feeble to be honest. I used to be able to jump in a car or a plane or train and enjoy the journey. Now the whole thought is just an ordeal. My adventurous spirit has got up and gone.

Where has that woman gone and could she please come back soon....preferably before Saturday

Oh I know ............ the moment I see the motorway I want to 'go' and I HATE going into those service areas: why can't they put loos at the outside rather than having everyone traipsing through the food halls etc., I know it's a sales ploy but those who want to buy will do so anyway.

Having to queue for a wee if a load of coaches are there, worrying about everyone else  and feeling more and more queasy ....... whereas loos on the outside makes it so much quicker and more relaxed.  It's awful dragging a queasy child through all that food smells etc..       

[Joyce]

HB once you get in the car and get going I'm sure you will be fine.  You're not going far and you can always stop off if necessary.  Coffee break or a lunch break - all part of your holiday. 
I'm usually the one who is ill on holiday and it hasn't stopped me yet............. 
Have a great time and try to relax and enjoy it.   

[Greyhoundgal]

Off to Spain on Saturday   Not anxious as such but I have been waking ridiculously early this week with a million and one things whirring through my brain of stuff to do before we go.....

[CLKD]

Enjoy!

Well i'm back not sure that anyone has missed me lol. 

Went last friday totally shocked as daughter had told me we were most certainly not going then, because i had mentioned to her that i was getting myself all silly because i was sure we were going on the friday the 1st june, so when i woke up and saw that text i had an hour to walk to dog and run around getting last things done, my bag wa salready mostly packed anyway. I'm so glab she did like that as i'm sure i would never had gone.

Only had to have one 2mg diazpamon the way and none on the way back cannot believe that i have done it. weather was totally crap so that got me down and shareing room 2 grandchildren and a house with 9 all together was a challange but its been done and no major fallings out just a few cross words and that was mostly due to lack of sleep and rubbish weather.

I did so many things and went all over the island with hardly any anxiety, now i am back i feel very low want to go back and live there lol its such a lovely clean nice place and oh how i love the sound of the sea. Back to crappy dirty brum sorry but thats how it is here. Its made me realise that there is a better life out there for me if only i had the money. 

Another things as well i had no phone signal, the company i am with is not much good over there so i could not ring or use internet i really thought that would send me over the edge but it never and thats a first for me, i always have to have my phone with me all the time. I'm so glab i did it.
