I feel so dumb for thinking I could do this cruise. I struggled so much in Nashville. I worked hard on myself but maybe this is too big of a jump. I did go to Miami with my boyfriend’s family for a long weekend. I was nervous and had a blast. But I have such of fear of throwing up that this cruise is really just making me so incredibly anxious. This morning I got up around 9:30am. I slept a lot last night as I was exhausted from my anxiety. I then did some work with a colleague for about 3 hours. Then I went to the store to get stuff for my trip. I leave Sunday (three days). I put laundry in just now. I need to clean my apartment and pack but the thought of that makes me so anxious. I also really just want to lay in bed and rest. I took an extra anxiety pill that I have prescribed. I was going to slow myself to lay in bed for no more than an hour and a half, and then work on cleaning or packing.
I want to go on this cruise and enjoy it. But I’m terrified. I feel stupid and hopeless.

Well if you do want to go on the cruise and you do choose to go, you know you can connect here for support whenever you need to. You won't be all alone.
See if you can get anti nausea pills. they may be available in CVS, otherwise call your MD. If you feel like you have to throw up, excuse yourself and go to the ladies room. If it lasts longer explain to everyone that you are suffering from seasickness and go to your cabin. This is a perfectly normal thing to have happen.
No, I never have. I am also afraid, but for a different reason. I have a problem with Irritable Bowel Syndrome . I am afraid that different food will cause it to get worse and I will basically not be able to leave the cabin for fear of having an accident. I hope you are able to go and that you do enjoy it. x
