Deathly scared about flight!

[Bunnyjess]

Hi everyone
I am freaking out about my impending flight in 2.5 hours! I feel a little n* with a slight headache, warmth and a little bit of d* . I have prepared myself in terms of having peppermint mints (chewy), lollipops, motion sickness medication, dry crackers and a bottle of water. I feel a little n* when flying but I have never v* on a flight. I take the medication as a way to alleviate all n* and to put my phobic mind at ease. I am so scared and whats worst I am flying on my own. The flight is rather short, only 4.5 hours but I'm not a good flyer, even if the flight is only 1 hour! I picked my seat in the middle (I think) and its an aisle seat. Any advice for my flight? Am I doing the right things? Could I have a sv? Please help!!!

I am so sorry that no one responded! you are surely on your flight or done by now. It is 9 hours past your post my time (east coast US). it sounded like anxiety, which I also get on trips. Hope you made it safely!

Sounds like anxiety. How did the flight go? I hope it went well.

I agree, anxiety! I did NOT want to fly and literally cried at 20 something years old when I did it, but I did it and so can you!

How did it go? I sympathize because I'm terrified of flying too. I can't do it without a healthy dose of anti-anxiety meds. The feeling of being trapped (and of course fear of crashing..) is what gets me. Plus of course the fear of somebody nearby being sick and me not being able to escape it. Basically I just have to knock myself out or I'll be panicking the entire time. I hope you got through it okay!!

This was my problem at Xmas I was freaking out even though I do this flight 4/5 times a year and travel alone with my baby. I used to be find but this phobia got the better of my nerves at Xmas but I went ahead with the flight and took a motillium an hour before take off all went fine hope it went ok for u

Thanks everyone! It was a last minute freak out but the flight ended well. My emetophobia effects me enjoying the plane's entertainment (we had our own screens and could choose our own entertainment!) plus all the cute little meals they serve. It also helps if you get a plane with nice air hosts/hostess that look out for you.
