Need advices / traveling alone / anxiety

[QoriShtiya]

Hey,


So, I'm sending this message because I don't know where else to turn to.

I'm currently living with my boyfriend, who's an architecture student, and has very little free time. And things have become extremely difficult for me, homeschooled (psychology and anthropology degrees) to stay alone all day and dream of countries and connecting to my origins, without being able to do it.

The thing is, I COULD leave and go travel, I have money saved up and everything. But I have such a huge anxiety about traveling alone, or just traveling without my boyfriend/mom. I know it sounds childish but I have mental issues and trauma history, and things have become really really difficult.

I can't stay here doing nothing because my depression is making me fall into deep deep hopeless feeling, and I can't go because of my anxiety.

Do you have any ideas on what to do? Should I try to overcome my anxiety and go alone? Do you think of any alternative solutions for me?

Thank you so much...

Figure out what it is about travel that gives you anxiety. What is your experience with travel?

For example, a common thing imo would be having to figure out where to go on your own... or dealing with customs/border control.

You can go cruising and you won't feel alone. That is if you don't mind being inside a ship out in the ocean! Plenty of people inside the ship, plus I think they do group traveling too once they reach their destination. A friend of mine use to do that and she loved it, she had tons of fun. Plus you can go to a travel agency and ask for traveling groups and at least you won't be alone. Cruising is not for me but some people do love it.
