Hi Alison. A trip, how exciting! I so, so miss the days when I would get all fluttery and excited inside while waiting to go on a trip somewhere I had never been before - fluttery in that good way. Now of course - I'm just a bundle of anxieties. I'm sure someday I will get back that freedom to travel. Where are you going? I hope for your sake it's a nice long trip, but for my sake I hope it's a short one! I'll miss your posts!
Wow, so you took the Xanax! I think that's a good decision, to prepare for the stress of the trip and help you to just relax and enjoy yourself. I don't know much about meds, but I do know my doctor told me that if I were to go on them, they can very commonly take several weeks to really kick in, so you may not notice much at first.
Let me know how the trip goes! And just enjoy yourself!
Caitlin
