Is it mentally safe to travel with mental illness? I mean, is it wrong to get out of your daily routine and environment and try to have fun while being away? I have the opportunity to go out west and discover things like the Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, etc. I'm just worried that I'll have some kind of melt-down because of it. I'm scared that I'll be away from my doctor and therapist's care for 3 weeks. I'm pretty unstable emotionally and mentally but part of me still believes that the trip would be really fun! I'm not going alone, I'll have friends with me. I'm just scared that I'll be stuck out in the middle of nowhere (Redwood Forest?) and end up in some po-dunk town with an ancient mental hospital and they'll keep me for months. Are my fears unfounded? Has anybody else had these fears?
