Combatting Loneliness?
I’m taking my first solo trip to Eau Claire Wisconsin from Portland Oregon soon. It’s a 2-day train ride just to get there and it got me thinking about how I’ll handle being alone for that long. I will be staying in Eau Claire alone for the most part too (I’m seeing a friends music show there but that’s the only time I’ll be interacting with someone I know). I’m 19 y/o and I’ve had a fair share of traveling, but it’s always been when I was surrounded by friends and loved ones. I spend 99% of my time between work and school and free time surrounded by people and noise constantly (comes with living in the city), so I’m pretty used to the bustle. I have a diagnosed anxiety/depression disorder which also adds to the fear of being alone for so long. How do you combat loneliness when traveling like this? I’d hate to have a trip ruined because I’m busy being anxious about being alone. I’m just curious if anyone has any advice/recommendations as well as recommendations for the anxiety part of it too. I understand it may seem silly compared to all of the experienced travelers' stories on here, but I'm really new to all of this. Thank you in advance!
