Hello everyone

I'm suffering of anxiety and depression. In particular I'm anxious about a flight I'm taking next week. I haven't slept in about a week and probably won't sleep until triP is all over.

I'm afraid my heart won't be able to take the exhaustion and anxiety.

My grandma has terrible anxiety with flying. She doesn't take any anxiety meds but she will take a Xanax before a flight. Otherwise she panics, gets sick, vomits, throws up, etc. It is terrible!

The worst part is I want to be a good example for my kids so they don't suffer like I do one day, but how can I if a phobia is something we don't have any control of? 😓

Carolinaj, can you get a prescription for antianxiety meds from a Dr.? Do you take meds for depression? I am scared to fly also. I take an antianxiety pill and it helps take the edge off. You are still aware of your fear, but you don't feel as anxious in your body. I have OCD and depression. I have had chronic anxiety for about a year. My anxiety used to come in phases and then it would calm down. Now I wake up with it just about every day. I am in therapy and on med. I hope you are too.

Hi LD

I do take something for anxiety as needed. The problem is, after some time I feel the side effects are to significant and I quit. Them when I feel overwhelmed by anxiety, I ask the doctor to prescribe it again. As for counseling I have been on it on and off as I haven't found a counselor that I am really satisfied with.

Are you seeing improvements?

I wish you all the best!
