hi Amy !
Good travel wishes! Its today isn't it ? Wednesday? hope you get to check in from Ireland.

Anxious used to be a focus of mine, I hope steps help you as much as it did me. step one and three lynchpins for me. And specially two. Well, all of them I expect LOL

I have a mantra for travelling, its 'good enough is good enough' And it always is for me ! The other piece of advice that was handed to me that I love is, just do the step you are on

Its great you noted breakfast a bit shaky. That's really good to know, so you can breakfast all round Ireland ( which should be really accessible) and know you did ok

Good breakfast, eat as regularly as you can - and go and enjoy those sights ! (we are having good weather over here, Im saying it quietly ) you will have a great time

as for the SSRI I have no knowledge, but have heard it said many a time - and it makes sense to me - to leave that till you have a steady step seven. From my own experiences I know tackling things in seven is a very different thing than trying to power through earlier. Its just kinder to us. Perhaps for your reassurance you could do a mini consult with Kathleen when you get back from your holidays

wishing you a lovely holiday
