The older I get, the harder it gets mentally to travel.

In my 20s I could fly anywhere and land running. Now in my 40s, I get near-crippling nausea-filled anxiety the day before, am checking details while en route, and sometimes don't feel like exploring once there.

I've traveled all over tge world, mostly solo. I have no actual mental issues other than regular crazy, lol.

It's ridiculous and I know it. I have conversations with myself to dig into why, and there is no reason to be afraid. I need the feelings to subside so I can go back to enjoying my travels.

Tips for getting over this? Maybe I'm done being a solo traveler?

ETA: Thank you all for such kind, thoughtful responses. I was bracing myself for rude remarks... Thank you. Your support and responses have been helpful.
