I’m on a solo road trip with my dog, day 6 of 12. I’ve traveled solo plenty in cities, but this is my first time doing remote cabins. Yesterday I slipped up and told an older guy I met that I was traveling alone and what car I was driving. Totally normal interaction, but afterwards I spiraled. Back at the cabin I panicked, slept with the lights and TV on, then bailed early and checked into a hotel.
I know nothing is actually wrong, I’ve moved towns, he doesn’t know where I’m headed, crime is low, cabins are safe with wifi and locks. But my brain flipped into full paranoia mode and I can’t switch it off.
