devJs13262yI get your concerns about the trip, but try to look at it from the other perspective, like it will be awesome trying something on my own, maybe I meet some people or some other person who did the same as me and maybe we can pair, maybe i can join some group if they're friendly enough. Why not make new friends there on the hiking trip?
About the job - if the place is toxic, it would be better to be unemployed (if you can afford it or staying with parents).
If you already didn't, try to find remote job, like from another country, depends where you are - you can maybe get a lot better salary than expected.
Just try to stay calm and look at everything as an opportunity rather than looking at everything as possible f00ck-up. -
Stop being a pussy and just hike and relax in nature. Just kidding lol, but the human body doesn’t need much to survive, having a pack is a comfort and not a need. Just make sure to bring the appropriate water and a water filter if ur gone for more than a day. Just do some meditation if ur still freaking out.

Don’t worry. Have fun for a while and things will get better. Build a habit to practice regularly, and that’s it.
2023 is the year where i am making a lot of bold choices and immediately regretting them.anxiety is at peak, and my past good deeds are hopefully saving me from getting into a real danger, but i am not aure for how long.
1. (technically a 2022 choice/blunder but impacted in2023 ) : we go for a yearly trip to a religious place in dec last- jan 1st week. i booked a flight instead of trains which we usually take, and are cheaper but take 16 extra hours. result? flight got cancelled, wr booked another more expensive flight for the next day, i got extremely sick and being stuck on a totally strange place on the 2nd day of 2023 was a nightmarish experience for mom ( the airport was 400km away from the village we go and its a totally new city for us)
2. resigned from my job on the pretext that they will be eventually asking us to work from head office(which is in a far city). they are yet to mandate it, and are rather opening a new office in my own city , so i would have to probably report from my city's office if i had stayed. super regrets, as that company gave very less work and lots of perks. this was the first job in which i was able to disconnect from work to understand real world and care for my people.
3. when i quitted the above job, i had no offer from any company after applying to 200+ job openings. one large MNC, with which i interviewed in last November 22 had given me an offer back then which i had rejected due to being a low offer , and having shitty popularity and policies ( they are known for being a toxic, mind numbing workplace and have a 3 month notice period) . but due to panice caused by work-from-head-office rumour, i asked them to give me offer again. the did and now i regret joining them and their shitty policies
4. latest in line : i have been fantasizing a trekk/hiking trip but neither do i have any siblings to go on with, nor my friends got time or interest in it.
i saw a few pages on Instagram, they take groups of people to mountains and offroad places via buses so booked a seat for me. a freaking solo trip! lots of exciting happy thoughts when i gave them my money, but as i approach the date of departure , i am freaking the fuck out.
they are not communicating with me . i don't know what to pack, whom to rely upon , whether they will have single traveller like me or if they will have couples and i will be left out to rot and struggle on my own, will it he safe or not,... to many questions and they aren't satisfying me with any of their answers.
i know my parents are in guilt about me resigning from my jobas they didn't wanted me to work from head office and they are shit scared too, but still allowing. however, i am even more double shit scared
i hope this doesn't turn into my last worst decision.
