I was wondering if any of you have experienced this and if so, if you would be kind enough to forward any suggestions .
I am praying to St.Dymphna.
We are going away for about 2 weeks visiting the kids and some friends we haven’t seen in many years. All of a sudden as the time draws closer, I am experiencing a sense of overwhelming depression and anxiety.(The anxiety is chronic). No matter what I do, including taking prescribed meds for both conditions, I cannot seem to shake this feeling of foreboding and gloom,Normally, I am a pretty positive person.
Your prayers will be greatly appreciated.
I thank all of you for your prayers-I appreciate them very much.

What are you feeling foreboding and gloom about? Are you anxious about the travel itself, or about being around your family?

Packing for vacation stressed me. I wouldn’t say I feel “foreboding and gloom”, but I don’t find vacations restful. Travel with young children is difficult. Do you have young children, and is that part of the concern? If that is, I can offer some suggestions about travel with children.

Are there any other issue with the family and friends you plan to visit? Packing for trips to visit my in-laws stresses me more than packing for other trips–both because I antincipate some of the personality issues within the family and because their home is not child safe.

Some people have a harder time dealing with change–and vacations involve change from the normal routine. Prayers for you. :gopray:
