Glad to hear I am not the only person to experience this. I googled it and found nothing. My mom told me as a child (and I remember too) that I would pretend to be sick everytime they went away on vacation. As I got in my teens I was fine and went to college 4 hrs away w no problems. Then as I got older and went farther away it started again. Its so embarrassing and the dread I feel about those few moments of leaving is horrible. I feel sick for days/wks in advance and I know it makes absolutely no sense!! Thats whats so frustrating. I know its the negative thought process and at times I can just stay above it and be fine. Then hrs later it hits me again. Its not that I worry about death but its how I act-like someone is dying. It ruins my time w family. I wish I had a simple way to resolve this. Its good to talk to someone about it who understands. I thought I read it has something to do w self confidence but I've always been confident and a positive thinker.
