  Evan is panic-stricken over his upcoming vacation. They leave on Sunday, and he's kicked, screamed, and cried his way through the week, and has even flat-out told me he doesn't want to go. ... He's going if Rave and I have to bound and gag him. Rave and I talked about it a little last night. He really wanted this trip to be a fun experience for Ev, but now he's doubting why he booked the trip in the first place. He feels really awful for putting Ev through this agony - he thought about cancelling the trip and everything.
(Ehh.. I hope Ev isn't reading this...lol. ) I know, it probably sounds ridiculous to the average person. I understand, because I get panic attacks and have a million anxieties, too... but personally I can't imagine not wanting to go on vacation... So I dragged him out of the house today to help him shop for his trip. We went shopping for sunglasses, sunblock, swim trunks... With each purchase, he just grew more and more anxious.
We just lay around afterwards, he had a panic attack and I let him cry on my shoulder until he fell asleep. *sigh* I don't know what to do with him - He's going to have a great time once he gets there. And this will really be a good thing for him, but he's making himself completely miserable over it. I'm so torn, my heart is absolutely aching...
