this saturday im supposed to take a very long trip by bus(17 hrs)with my girlfriend to a beach.im really getting very anxious about it.ive already told her im going.if i tell her now i dont want to go shell get upset.ive gone many times and it made me positive results.its a very relaxing place with warm sun,sea,good food,very nice.theres also surfing which i dont do since more than 2 years.the last time i went i had already experienced anxiety and panic attacks but it wasnt like it is now.i wasnt so agoraphobic.im scared of getting in that bus for 17 hrs.im also kind of claustrophobic and worry about accidents.sometimes i think i should just say fuk it and confront one of my biggest fears right away but there are times when i get really nervous and think of making an excuse and not go(as always).i cant live like this anymore,not being able to do the things i like.this is veery debilitating and as the day of the trip comes nearer i get more anxious and frightened.i cant sleep at night thinking about it.if i go the idea i had was taking some clonazepam and have some emergency xanax.when i take those meds at home it really relaxes me but i dont know if they will work on the bus for 17 hrs.i know going there is a good thing for me but the trip scares me,although ive done it many times.if i manage to do it i know i would have beaten the anxiety monster right in the head.but i dont want to suffer that much on that bus.theres also the coming back issue cause im going just for ten days.any suggestions?could this be a good time to try remeron?please help me.
