I’ve dealt with anxiety my whole life, but it didn’t get bad enough that I finally decided to do something about it until COVID. Since then, I have been making an effort to talk about it more openly in my writing. Travel is a scary thing, and I don’t think that is acknowledged enough. Especially by men. Here’s a bank of articles where I explicitly talk about the anxiety I was feeling at the time. It’s not medical advice. It’s not intended to be therapeutic in any way. It’s just to let you know that you’re not alone, and that it is possible to do this stuff in spite of anxiety. You can do scary things! And remember: it’s impossible to be brave if you aren’t scared first!
