Too many trips to plan - I have a nervous breakdown !!

I know some of you will think I am insane or this message is quite a nuisance but i need to speak to someone.

I have air 13 tickets bought for 6 trips covering 4 countries in S.E.A, 3 trips to Thailand(my regular country) and 3 trips to 3 other countries which I am going for the first time, all within the next 6 to 7 months. My problems are:

a) Planning all trips, itinerary, transport and hotels bookings, time planning etc is so troublesome because I wanted to go everywhereer.

b) Making all the trips may jeopardise my career unexpected earlier.

c) After all these countries, I will plan for Nepal, Tibet and Europe. Actually I wanted to go these countries more eagerly(but cost more).

Making all those 6 trips will probably cost me another USD1500 to USD2000 on the landed expenditure. My friends advised that I should give up all those tickets, cancel those trips and reserve those money to make the Nepal/Tibet trip or double it up and go Europe later.
They said it's more worthwhile. Problem is I have the same problem last year and cancelled 8 tickets of the same countries !!

It make sense since I am having a nervous breakdown now. What shall I do ? I know the final decision is still on me. Maybe I just need some physcological consolation. I don't know.

Please give some advise. Don't scold me, I am already sick.

Let's help each other for better travelling !!

if ur problem is planning the trips,iterinary, transport, why didnt you book a package group tour then? why stressed yourself thinking about it,why you are excited to buy a tickets when you cant make up your mind?Now you want to cover all?why dont you stay for one year in one country?You didnt need help, you need simple common sense,how can you see all the sights in one country if you have limited time and resources?GET REAL.....

Why cancel the trip infavor of Nepal, Tibet or Europe. why not do it later, one at a time.If you can afford, why dont you travel, give up your career, dump your boyfriend, sell everything you have,say for two years around the world, and let us see if u still have a nervous breakdown...

REAL travel is not about the number of sights you visited,nor its a race but rather to enjoy every minute of your journey,to relax, to understand culture, to meet people, blah blah blah..

APA INI!!

...to go or not to go, therefore I go..

Valium is a wonderful thing. If that is not available, the nearest liquor store might help!

"It make sense since I am having a nervous breakdown now. What shall I do ? I know the final decision is still on me. Maybe I just need some physcological consolation. I don't know."

The situation you are in is telling you everything you need to know about what to do. You have the choice of whether to go with the struggle, and potential feeling of success, by sticking with your plan and trying to get everything just right. Or going to the other extreme and cancelling it all and playing it by ear. Or something in between.
