"I’m far from home and alone. I’m very far north in Norway and feeling incredible home sick and anxious. I tell my friends and all I get is you’re so lucky to be able to do this but I’m can’t see past my anxiety anymore. I feel trapped, set sail from here late tonight and then another 2 full days at sea before a one day stop and then another 2 full days at sea. The ships like a floating retirement home so I don’t feel I fit in anywhere. So all I’m doing is isolating myself. It’s actually freaking me out. I know I’m lucky, but today all I want is to see my son and be home. How do you all deal with anxiety when it really becomes strong?" awwww I've always seen cruises as floating retirement homes where you just eat and eat hey hope you get home safely | |||

You can be anywhere you want to be, with the right music, with the images when you close your eyes..... ... I spent over 15 years working overseas, there were times when I felt like a shell of a human being and then I would put on some music, close my eyes and stare deep into my memories. The scents of my past would come, I could hear the whispered laughter of all those I loved and I was home again... | |||

I know I’m lucky, but today all I want is to see my son and be home. How do you all deal with anxiety when it really becomes strong?" I think a key part is understanding the triggers and using grounding techniques. When you feel like it’s taking a hold of you then think of those techniques to stay grounded and stay positive... it’s also quite healthy to find something to fidget with whilst experiencing anxiety. A rubber band, a coin... anything you can mess around with really. | |||
