Post Week 3- Travel Anxiety

    Almost every year my Aunt and Uncle take me to Disney World. We've been doing it since I was in 6th grade, when they took me for my first ever time. My first trip was amazing and magical. I didnt worry about school work because, lets be honest, 6th grade homework is a walk in the park. I was young and excited to be in Florida, nothing was causing me anxiety.

    My travel anxiety started in the begginging of 8th grade. I was going on two trips that year. The first one, a trip to Fort Myers Beach, Florida, with my Dad. The second, a trip to Disney World with my Aunts, Uncle, Mom, Brothers, and Grandparents. I noticed my Anxiety on the first plane ride with my dad. I was sitting in my seat and out of nowhere, I got such a bad feeling. I was scared the plane was going to crash, or malfunction, or that we'd end up in the bermuda triangle. The same thing then happened a couple months later on my trip to Disney. 

    Anxiety on the plane wasnt the only anxiety I got. When It came to school work, I was so focused on being in Florida I forgot to take the time to get my school done. Which ended up putting so much weight on my shoulders towards the end of the trip. I was scared to fall behind or not understand what we were learning. I HATED falling behind in class. 

I'm going to Disney again in about 2 weeks and although we are driving down, I'm still having lots of anxiety. This time around my mom is gonna be staying home and I don't really like being away from home. Im scared I'm gonna fall behind on schoolwork when I'm there. And to top it off I'm extra anxious about COVID down in Florida. But I am going to try and do everything I can to avoid most of my travel anxietys.
