Title I'm a traveller with anxiety Degree of recognition National Media name/outlet Metro Media type Web Duration/Length/Size 1500 words Country/Territory United Kingdom Date 14/02/26 Description Feature article on me and my book. Tom Sykes believes he may hold the world record for the most panic attacks around the world. He’s had meltdowns in Manila and anxiety in Accra, nightmares in Nigeria and hyper vigilance in Vietnam.
As a travel writer with a hefty carry-on of generalised anxiety disorder, Tom has more than two decades of learning how to lug his spiralling mental health around the world while not missing his connecting flight.
Tom, from Portsmouth, was diagnosed with anxiety when he was 24 after years of partying. It began one Saturday morning when, lying in bed recovering from a drum ‘n’ bass all nighter, he found his vision was blurred and that he couldn’t breathe.Producer/Author Sarah Ingram URL https://metro.co.uk/2026/02/14/a-dozen-panic-attacks-across-globe-this-manage-anxiety-26689010/ Persons Tom Sykes
