I am in a semi long distance relationship with my husband. He is in med school abroad. We made plans for me to travel and be with him, but I haven't been able to do so. Why? Because I'm very scared of traveling. There's no reason for me to be away from him except my fear. I made up my mind a few weeks ago and bought a ticket for next Friday. I don't think I can make it. It's a ferry trip that lasts 12 hours. i am very scared thinking the ferry will sink. I really, really want to go and be with my husband (and spend my birthday with him there) but I am very, very scared. I don't want to die or leave my family. What am I going to do?

Hi there...while you probably wont have time to do so now, you can try Exposure Therapy from now on.
Exposure Therapy is a kind of therapy in which you are exposed to things slowly, and at a bit at a time, so you end up getting exposed to it and feeling better later on.
What could you do now? Is there something you could read/write/work on while you are doing so? I know it will probably be scary, but bring things you like to do now, so you will have things there to help you keep your mind off of it.
If you have to sit out in the open (I mean, without a room, just a cover above you...), sit in the middle so you won't see as much.
It would be nice if you found someone there who could of went with you to help, or found someone when you got on the ferry (but be careful with that part!).
You can do it!
Best,
Clyde
