This week's causes of anxiety
*trying to figure out which trains to book to and from the airport
*research to buy a new camera.
*that i'm silly thinking i'll figure out how a DSLR camera works
*trying to remember how to pack a backpack
*i've never even slept in a tent and now i'm going trekking around mongolia
*what if i bought the wrong sleeping bag and i'll freeze to death?
*i bought a bycicle and now i'm afraid i'm not using it enough to validate it's purchase
*it took me over 3 weeks to decide which towel to buy on etsy
*i should clean and tidy more around my flat
*what if my fellow travellers hate me? or i hate them?
*i have two backpacks to take with me and no idea how i'll lug both of them around the trainstation and the airport. twice.
*should i, or shouldn't i buy a new matress? i'm currently almost literally on my way out the door to ikea and i'm still feeling anxiously doubtful about buying one
*i should do more rather than just sit around. but i'm so nervous and anxious about that i feel i literally can't move. let alone tidy out my sewing crap or go to the craftstore. or even to a fucking museum.
*how many t-shirts i should pack? and underwear? and what if i can't do my laundry? and should i take a hat with me or just assume some tourist stand somewhere in peking will have nice ones for sale? what if it's hotter than i think it will be? or colder?
*will people laugh at me because i don't have the 'professional' trekking outfits but just some h&m stuff that i hope will suffice?
*what if these other people really don't like me?
