Question: Please help I need advice!?
I have generalized anxiety disorder I have been doing really good, but I am scared about an upcoming overnight trip I'm supposed to go on next week!. It's about a 3 hour drive and I'm really worried that something will happen on the way there or once I get there, such as a car accident, or something happening to me, like I'll have some medical emergency or just go into a panic attack that won't stop and I won't be able to calm myself down and my meds won't work!. Is this at all logical!? Can anyone suggest coping techniques to go and have a good time!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

These thoughts are somewhat logical, because any normal person will worry like that!. But, they will also understand that they could be being irrational and that the liklihood of something bad happening is slim!.
I suggest going to the doctor and having him give you a temporary perscription for anti-anxiety medication!.
Good luck, stay safe, wear your seatbelt and don't worry! Have fun!Www@Answer-Health@Com
