On a freezing cold night, in the town common of Innaminca, I
am sitting here typing away on my laptop. The silence is interrupted only by
the road works up on the main road, and the peaceful snores of those around me.
I am on my first family holiday in seven years.
When my husband first suggested this trip, I was petrified.
And I have worried about it for over a year. But now that we’re actually on our
way, it’s not as bad as my mind would have had me believe.
So far.
We’re on our way to Cape York, and I have been told it’s the
trip of a lifetime.
But for me it didn't feel that way.
I thought taking someone with panic disorder into the complete
isolation of the Aussie bush was sure to be a recipe for disaster.
Someone like me.
But I’m coping.
Surprisingly.
I didn't expect to.
I expected to have
raging panic attacks, leaving me with shortened breath and wide, crazy eyes,
desperate to be anywhere but here.
Yet here I am.
Calmly typing away.
It’s almost kind of a miracle.
But the trip isn't over yet.
I'm sure normality will return at any time.
They are amazing out here.
