Ahh anxiety

[ilovelamp]

:-( I'm at the airport flying to San Diego for my grandfathers funeral. I HATE FLYING. HATE. HATE. Luckily I got some Xanax from my doctor. I would hyperventilate and be a mess without it.

I'm sorry

I just went to my doctor and got ativan for my trip in a few weeks. Anxiety sucks major, but at least you have something to take the edge off. Are you traveling alone? That's when I seem to have the most trouble with flying. (Hugs) I hope the next few days go by quickly and as anxiety free as possible!

Oh, I love to fly. I guess I'm just weird. I don't like being packed in with a ton of people, though. I get a bit claustrophobic.

I enjoy flying too. I always have. But as my anxiety has evolved over the years, it effects me there now too. I really just get anxious anticipating the flight. The time between when I board and when the plane takes off is the worst for me. Once I'm in the air, I'm usually fine. I make no sense. Stupid anxiety!

I'm sorry I hate flying too!

I understand that. I spend most of that time yelling at people in my head. "Hold up, MFer. If you are moving further to the rear of the plane, why is it you feel you can put your bag in the thing up here?" "Lady! Your bag is huge and you are hitting people in the head with it. Either hold it behind you or in front of you. Not on your shoulder!" "Why in the hell did you have to bring that meat ball sub covered in onions on this damn plane, ass?" "Why are you bitching about that lady's baby when he's not even crying? He's far more quiet than your loud ass!"
People cause me far more anxiety than the flight does. If I actually said all the things going on in my head on flights, I'd probably be arrested at the gate.

I don't mind flying in the least. It's all the other people who suck.

Although, I'll admit to being slightly more anxious if I fly with H. If he tenses up, and he's been trained to fly, then I start worrying. I never even thought to be nervous until he was around. Ass. (I say with pride and love).

Thanks everyone! Like everytime that I fly, I made it safely lol. I don't like not being in control. Sometimes I get anxiety even when other people drive, especially in the rain/snow.

Me too!!! I don't mind flying alone. I have traveled by myself to the Philippines(my hometown) quite a few times. But I get a bit anxious if I fly with H.

I've traveled all around the world, in jumbo jets and in 4 seater prop planes and everything in between, and I don't get nervous. I've literally even been on a plane where the oxygen masks came down, and all I did was laugh (it was a private plane, and we were only about 300 ft up, so I knew it was a fluke).

And yet one flight out of vegas, with crazy ass turbulence, and H being scared, and that affects me. WTF? At least if he's with me when I experience some crazy-ass drop or turbulence, he can tell me that, yes, that was crazy, and it's not just in my head

I get anxiety flying, but it isn't too terrible...

But everything else is pretty correct. I especially love it when we hit bad turbulence and he starts through the Emergency Procedures to freak me out a little, thanks H.

I feel ya!! I have done SO MUCH traveling. For an entire year all we did was travel around China! But my anxiety never gets better! I take xanax for it and it helps immensely. Now I am freaking because I'm pregnant and I won't be able to take anything from CA to FL for Christmas.
