Hey guys, 

So I'm 16 years old and suffer with anxiety disorder. Before my anxiety kicked in fully, I was able to travel on trains every weekend for about a year on my own. However, since February I haven't been able to travel and see my family and it's something I really want to do again. 

If I plan in advance I sometimes feel more anxious so I feel like I just need to get up and go. I'm planning to travel with someone so I won't be alone. Do you think it's a good idea? I go out nearly everyday and I'm working towards going to bigger and busier places. The question is, will it be a breakthrough and help me or will it give me a set back?

My symptoms mainly include an awful choking feeling in my throat causing me to want to gag and I usually get shaky and feel sick. 

Are you guys able to control your anxiety when on public transport? 

Any tips? 

Thanks

Hi, ur so young do u know why ur anxiery started or what triggered it? I don't like long distance travel own my own so I take someone with me and chat it keeps the mind busy also focusing on the end goal is always good if u cam get through it no matter how bad u feel u know that nothing terrible is going to happen. Take magazines books music just don't sit in silence

The councelling should help in leaps and bounds and remember u are not alone there are so many of us or this site that suffer in some way shape or form. It's tough but it will make u stronger in the long run
