Story I just wanna go on vacation but my anxiety make it nearly impossible

[highjumping]

I got break for 2 weeks and I don't always wanna stay home but I am really scared to go out. I wanna go from Sunday to Thursday and stay at a vacation home like 3-4h away from my home, however my anxiety makes it really hard to get used to new environments and really enjoy my break. Please give me reasons to still go, I don't wanna cancel last minute again because my anxiety got too bad. I was on vacation many times before with my family and normally there is nothing to worry about when we're there but before my anxiety is freaking out and I cancel often and miss out on life. Sorry for the long rant about this, it feels so childish to complain about.

I can see how it can be anxiety inducing with a new environment. I usually get forced to go on trips with my family so I don't get a say if I go or not. I'd say maybe research the place and imagine u are there. Hm I dont really have a good solution for this. I hate going out of my comfort zone, but I think its good practice/ exposure therapy for my anxiety. If you choose not to go, don't beat yourself up about it. What are your reasons for not wanting to go?

I just wanna stay home and take a break from life but i'm like 98% sure that i will be forced to go.
