Dear Anna, You can do this!! Anticipatory anxiety is usually worse than the actual feared event, you will do better than you are imagining. Bring alot of diversions, books, magazines, etc and stuff your pockets and pocketbook full of Aple pie slices….you have to bring that comfort food along with you :) ) {{{{{Anna}}}}} Jackie ~*~It’s been a lifetime struggle for me to stop spending my lifetime

After writing this I think that will be my option Teedledee dee care free ;-) )) Hi Miss Anna, when i first started getting out again and travelling on trains i found it helped if i got in a carriage with plenty of space and avoided travelling at busy times. It also helped to remember that i was’nt glued to my seat and could get up and move at any time if i felt anxious or uncomfortable.         Good luck,             Sir Kenneth of Albion. Sir Kenneth of Albion, Do you think it is allright when I hit people in the train ? Not all of course,but the ones with a mobile-phone,loud voices and loud walkmen ? Her ladyship Anna of the Waterlands I was just about to suggest you take a mobile phone with you..LOL.. Maybe I will think of something else now. :-) Please do yes ;-) )) Carol."Who wishes she had a *chance* to be a benzo addict!" Look at it this way : When I can go by train I can go by boat !!

Kiss for you too sweetie!  Just remember that I went on a four hour train ride not too long ago and really enjoyed it (once the anxiety subsided).  I really did enjoy it much more on the way back.  The train rocked slowly back and forth and it was a very calming motion.  I think you’ll like it.  Let us know when you’re leaving and we’ll send good vibes your way. Love, Di

- Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – How exciting, Miss Anna! Just remember: The sensation of intense anxiety/fear is very similar to the sensation of *excitement*. Tell yourself (when you feel those "butterflies" in your belly) that you are SO EXCITED about this trip, wheeeee here I go! wow, isn’t this exciting? Smile when you think or say "excited." Breathe deeply and smile and say, I am really really really EXCITED" when you are settled on the train. (Margrove gave me the idea for all that with one of his comments some months ago. I use it when driving on highways.) It’s too bad Miss Hendricka is indisposed for traveling at the moment. I imagine she would have been a most pleasant companion for you.  :-D Thinking of you and sending the very best vibes. ((((((((Anna)))))))) Love, Anne

You know I really like to go ! I my ‘former’ life i allways travelled by train. i have no driver license. And I enjoyed it :-) Kiss Anna

Her ladyship of the waterlands, i suppose it would be ok to hit people on the train if they were masochists on their way to certain Amsterdam establishments.         Sir Kenneth of Albion, on his way to the station but remembering to leave my mobile phone at home and to keep my walkman turned down low in case of attack by marauding ladies from the low countries.
