My sister has lived in America for about 5 years and it has been quite a long time since I have seen her. My parents want me to go over with them so we can all become a family once again. I however, do not feel mentally stable enough to want to travel.
I can't look at myself in the mirror without having a panic attack and hating myself more so then what I do now. I also have emetophobia, (fear of vomiting) which will peak my anxiety being on a closed plane with other people, eating different foods, not being in a safe place in my room etc. Among with some other personal problems within myself.
My family does not understand why I would not want to go, and I don't know how to tell them. Keep in mind, it is not that easy to just come out and say ''I feel too depressed to go, I am sorry''. This is a very difficult subject to bring up to anyone, let alone my family. I don't know where I can get the courage to explain this to them. I honestly don't know what to do anymore.
tl;dr: My parents want me to visit my sister in America. I feel I am not mentally stable enough to visit her, due to depression, emetophobia. How do i tell my family this?
