Waiting for a planned trip is so hard

My brother and I made plans for a trip to the beach two days ago, exactly 13 days before we go. This is the soonest we could do it because I need to give 2 weeks notice for requests off from work. It feels almost unbearable waiting these 13 days. I need to go on this trip, but I always fear that something could stop it. It could be anything from getting sick to a hurricane. I have OCD and I focus on things that I really want every day. I compulse as an attempt to gain control over all situations so that everything goes my way. I realize that this is a futile and ridiculous attempt at true power. It makes me feel less anxious for a brief period of time. My beach plans have never been cancelled before. My request for time off has been approved.

My excitement and anxiety has already been taking affect. Even the night before last Tuesday, before we made the plans, I had a hard time sleeping. I didn't even know where or when the plans would be. Today, I had a hard time eating dinner. T know this is because of excitement, even if it's only subconscious some of the time. My mom says to take care of myself or I will be sick when the trip finally happens. I don't know how to control this. I have had trouble with this many times. This is the shortest time I've had to wait between making the plans and the trip. This year had really been flying by so I hope time will go fast.

Since time does go fast, I'm reminded of how I get a little depressed when we have to go home. Is it normal to feel this way the whole time and feel physical effects from it? How can I manage these feeling for the next 10 and a half days?

    Did you get your vaccine???

    It causes blood abnormalities and literally 4 pilots died in one month on British airways alone.

      The media is starting to report on some of the side effects. They say its no cause for concern still. But check out who sponsors them.

      I dont get why its such a conspiracy to be skeptical of a rushed vaccine under these circumstances especially with the relatively low mortality rate of the virus. Ppl get all defensive about it but its classified as experimental and has no long term trials. We are the long term trials. Since its classified as emergency use you can not sue them they have complete immunity. If the death rate is 0.02% I dont get why more people dont wait.

        It’s crazy how people bury their heads. And apparently the fda is saying that the rapid test is now unsafe. After nearly a year. My friend took that test about 10 times. This world is fucked up.

          They're hyping it too much. Many people I know had it and got over it. They push this vaccine like its absolutely necessary but the mortality rate is damn near 0 our health group. A great way to get antibodies is to get covid.

          When I was growing up parents use to find kids with chicken pox to give it to their kids. The kids would hug and everything then theyd get it and have antibodies. If they got chicken pox when they were young it was almost impossible to die. If they got it when they were old it was very dangerous. Similar to covid. Of course now theres a vaccine for that also and its looked at as child abuse to let them get it the natural way. I have to wonder if there isnt a capital interest for the pharmaceutical companies in selling these unnecessary vaccines to people that really dont need it. Without exception every congressman and senator is multimillionaires but I'm sure they are doing whats best for us and not them

            What’s a big slap in the face, is how it’s free. All of a sudden, our government wants “to help us” and is doing lotteries and cutting jail sentences for getting the vaccine? I believe it was the original vaccine for tuberculosis that came out also had alarming death and side effect rates and it was also rushed so it got removed. The numbers from that vaccine didn’t even touch this one and the news can’t talk about the side effects and death rates Bc it would “discourage people from getting the vaccine”.

            It doesn’t even effect your antibodies. It literally alters your DNA.

              You're spot on. The vaccine is complete bullshit.
