Hi,
My name is Jacob. I was just reading a little about you and you seem like a really nice person. I just wanted to kind of get to know you if you're interested. Don't be freaked out! I'm not the weirdo writing everyone they see on the internet. Just thought you were an interesting pretty person from what I read and saw. If interested just write back. Looking forward to hearing from you. Again don't think I'm a weirdo. lol. Have a wonderful blessed day.
~Jacob~

Vacationing makes me more stressed. I worry about everyone else and if they are having fun. I get stressed. I end up playing hostess/travel agent/travel guide for any vacations. I bring the maps/directions, schedules and etc. I am the "organized one" so everyone looks to me for information, questions and etc.
One day I would like to take a vacation without family and friends and be able to just relax!
For me, it depends on hat I've eaten and how much I've eaten. Sleep is another big factor. I've disocvered that if I eat healthy foods like (lima beans, fish, poultry, cacao) my stress level decreases. This must be due to the healthy chemcials in these foods that stimulate "feel good" hormones and chemcials in the brain.
An example was just a few weeks ago. I found myself stressing an awful lot. I was even getting homesick, but looking at my food, I was eating junk. If one eats junk food, they will feel like junk. Switching over to a healthy diet, I found myself letting go of my anxiety.
Diet is an important factor to treat anxiety disorders and other mood disorders and is something many people are unaware of, and think only therapy and medications can treat.
You are absolutely right. If I am eatting juck food or a lot of sugar, I feel awful. I ache all over and have no energy. If I eat healthy foods and get all my veggies and fruits, I feel so much better. Mentally, I feel much better too.
Thanks for the comment! You are what you eat!
Glad to be of help!
Actually, anxiety while on "vacation" (the really, REALLY gotta get home do...SOMETHING!!!) can also be a type of homesickness.
I actually don'ta have anxiety about home sickness per say. I am only ready to get home when I have worn myself to a frazzle making sure everything goes right and that everyones needs are met and that everyone is having a great time and getting to do everything that they want to do. I am the "tour guide" for several vacations per year for my family as well as my partners family. They all say I am do good at it. I enjoy making others happy, but it is very draining on me. Usually when a vacation is coming to a close, I am completely spent!
I see. For me, I start obsessively worrying about things back home, like, friends over the internet I never made apologies to, things that I would like to comment on 9this article being one of them!) things like that. It's not that I miss home, or want to go back home, but I feel as if there's something back home, or something that I use a medium for contacting people (internet for example) that I need.
That is the psychological aspect of it.
You are right. I never realized that I do this too. I just finished a vacation with my father. He came to visit me and I did the whole tour guide/ hostess with the mostess thing. Now I am back to work and pooped out. But,...I am worried about getting behind on my internet stuff. Like checking to see if I need to reply to anyone and email correspondence and etc. I miss that when I am away from the computer. I never realized that before. I have grown to need the support and connection with people like me who struggle with depression, anxiety and etc. These are the "real people" to me. I feel most comfortable here. When I am having to "perform" in the real world, it is "acting" for me. I act happy, I act energetic and etc.
I miss reading posts and communicating with people here. I never realized that I had such a connection with this before.
