It's 1:20am in Italy. This is my first time travelling outside NA. I'm ultra jetlagged, it's my first night here but I already spent a day here.

I'm feeling symptoms of anxiety and I don't really know why; I don't normally have anxiety. I had to leave my hotel room and just go to the lobby where there's light since I'm sharing a room with my brother.

I can't sleep at all even though I've had just 2 hours of sleep in the past 48, and I don't feel the best physically either, and kinda just want someone to talk to

Thanks

Vatican was really cool, i am a museum/art gallery guy and the displays were bigger and better than any display i could have ever imagined

St. Peter's Basilica was also really cool, I loved that as well as being in the square where the Pope goes on the balcony

jetlag when travelling east is a b*tch, it's impossible to sleep, you get anxious for no reason and when you wake up you feel like you got stabbed in the face, back and anus repeatedly

when you come back it'll be smooth sailing tho, you'll just be super tired at like 8 pm and then you'll wake up at 6 am feeling ready to go on a jog, do laundry, ur homework, ur makeup, have a nice breakfast, walk the dog and write a thank u note to ur grandma


this

"anxiety for no reason" literally lol, luckiky the night after i made this thread it went away for the most part and then it was totally gone after that

im happy that im gonna be a productive morning person when i fly back the 6h difference, will help with going to school in a couple weeks lol

Italy is a home of fantastic bakers, ciabattas, and pizzas are a must.

hey giga travel makes me anxious too, but i find that getting to know the environment and finding places that feel familiar helps a lot


this is very true for me, the more i find things that remind me of toronto, the better it makes me feel lol


im glad youre having an easier time!

now that you found tools quell your anxiety, i hope you get empowered and maybe push urself out of your comfort zone even more! if anything, you get to figure out ur limits and know to stay within them

woah i'm going to italy in a few days too!! maybe we will unknowingly consume ristrettos adjacent to each other. i am pretty nervous too but the food will make it all worthwhile : D. are u going to be up north at all?


Hate to burst the bubble, but unless you like desserts the most, it might be disappointing.

Italian food is great pretty much everywhere except Italy itself. Good sweets tho
