    @ellie2000 some people panic before holidays for a number of reasons, it could be because of a fear of flying or fear of missing the flight, leaving home and work for a few days or weeks, being in a different country or unfamiliar place, feeling like you've forgotten something like your passport or there may be things you have forgotten last minute and have to frantically sort out, different healthcare systems, driving on different sides of the road, different food.

    Whether or not you are leaving the country or staying in the country but going on holiday somewhere things can be stressful because it's a change in normality. I totally agree, it can rub off onto you, I guess ask why they are panicking and if there is anything you can do to help. I'm not too sure, what do you reckon? How does it make you feel having to reassure people all the time?

    Are you going on holiday?

    Hi @ellie2000 oh wow i hope you enjoy ur holidays they sound awesome. You will have to let us know how they go! I can here that sometimes you find it difficult to deal with things sometimes and like to go away.That can happen with PTSD or also sometimes if people feel they have something missing in their lives eg if a pet dies. Sometimes time can help soothe thing but it can b good to get anyway from thing as a distraction sometimes as well. I am also hearing you worry when people talk about their emotions but dont do anything to help.This is normal to worry especially if its someone you care about but just do what you can just support them and reassure them.At the end of the day a lot of the change will have to come from them but im sure they will appreciate you just being their for them
    Hope im understanding you ok. Im glad you are doing good tho and i hope the holidays go well and you get some time to recharge.
