Hi all, not been on for a while but Ive been really anxious about flying! I go away in a week and 4 days and last year I went on a plane and I felt really lightheaded wen I was going up and I’m scared what if somethings happens what if I’m poorly on holiday all these things and I suffer with periodic beats what if I have one I can’t get it out off my head and it’s going to spoil my holiday

Hey hi kirstylou1234.

Check out my last post. I too am flying soon and feel the fear, have all similar feelings to you. I am travelling to family so slightly different. But have all the same fears you have....I travel this week!

You know what, I think we will be ok, anxiety is playing tricks with us and making us think ‘what if’ and making it all seem so much worse...I have always found that the thought of these things is worse than actually doing it...

Don’t get me wrong I still have the fear but I’m slowly talking myself round.....some hours I feel better than others about it

We will be ok 🌺🌼🌺🌼
