I hope that this helps. Yes, I was there too (and many others, I am sure). A few days before I left to do the CF, I was full of doubts (amazingly, exactly the same as yours!). I had a wonderful experience, met some great people, and by the time I was halfway through I already knew that I would be returning to do another Camino. I leave in a little less than a month. I will do a two week placement as a hospitalera, and then begin the Camino Primitivo. And the doubts have already started (again). What I found helped me is that I always had a Plan A, Plan B, Plan C, .... (and do again) - what I could do if it was too difficult, what I could do if I got injured, etc. The fact that you see yourself as being easy going and laid back is great - you'll take things as they come and deal with them. Best of luck on your Camino.Hello everyone,
This forum is by far the greatest source available to prepare yourself for the Camino. I got fabulous advice, awesome tips & tricks and useful input I haven't even thought about yet.
I have all my gear packed and ready to go - if there wasn't my heart beating faster every day I am getting closer to my departure. In 5 days I will be in the Pyrenees and walking towards Roncesvalles and this little voice inside my head just keeps on nourishing my doubts:
- I haven't trained at all, will I be still able to do it?!
- What if I lose interest in walking everyday and just give up because of my lac of discipline?!
- Why am I leaving my beloved ones at home that I already miss like crazy although I haven't even left yet?!
I am actually a very easy going, laid back and chilled person, but right now I am as nervous as I have never been in my life before.
Just please tell me that you've been there too: overanalysing everything, questioning the whole "why", but in the end pushed yourself, had an unique life experience and happy that you actually walked the Way.
Thanks for lifting my tiny ego and sunny hugs from Zurich,
Fritzi

Oh wow!
Reading all your lovely, heart warming and supporting comments is just the greatest way to start a day (Could get used to this boost)
I don't know what to say, really thankful for these upliftings - that helped a lot. Feeling much more positiv and energised now!
It's just great to understand that most of us are sitting in the same boat and as we say in German: "shared trouble is half the trouble"
And another nice thing was a little sign from above yesterday. I went to a rest room in a bar in Zurich and this is what welcomed me

I simply love it!!
So many things happened already and this is day 2! People are nice, food and wine is great, my legs are muuuuuch stronger then I thought and today I've walked to Zubiri as quickly as in my trainings (where I had no backpack on *yeahh*)
My mood is up, my head is high, my heart is light
Was thinking of summarizing my days and posting it online, but just realized I am too lazy.

Was thinking of summarizing my days and posting it online, but just realized I am too lazy.
One funny thing though: I bought a scallop patch for my backpack with the cross of Santiago on it and sewed it on. Right before I started for day 1 I've realized that stupid me put it on upside down. So I am currently walking the Camino with the cross of Satan on my back!! But as it took me almost 1 hour zu stab the needle through the thick fabric, I definitely won't change it (again - too lazy), I tell myself that when god looks from above, the cross isn't upside down for him anymore. Well, at least if he does so like a bat
Otherwise I am sure he won't be mad with me.
So I am looking on the bright side and enjoying it so far very much, thank you for asking
Although I'm sure we would very much like to read your day-by-day posts it's completely OK to be lazy
