Nervous about travelling tomorrow

I’m leaving for Jamacia tomorrow at 3am, I’m kinda nervous and am scared that I’m going to have a repeat of last year when I went through the worst vacation ever suffering bad panic attacks! Even though I’m equipped with tons of anxiety reducers and things to help me cope I’m still finding myself anxious about flying and about being far away from home again. I don’t want to live in fear that everytime I travel it will be the same and I also want to enjoy myself because I spent a lot of money to go away! anybody have any tips!?

I can relate . First time back flying since I was 13, was 3 years ago when I was on a trip with my bf to celebrate his sister’s birthday in the Bahamas and see his family there. I was SO nervous . What got me through was my music playlist and food lol. I’m so glad I went because I had an amazing time exploring the island plus I met his sweet family .

You are going to have an amazing time sweetie. Trust in yourself that you will . Also, utilize your anti-anxiety methods . You brought them for a reason. I’d say bring a neck pillow , a relaxing music playlist ..some fruit snacks are good and also ...if you’re traveling with someone on that flight, talk to them while on the plane to calm you down , also stretch your legs a bit by going to the bathroom, put some cool water on your face...and relax. Don’t go too often , maybe once or twice , because eventually you’ll find yourself adjusting to everything and being comfortable... food helps too , a nice healthy snack or two ...also keep hydrated. I hope my tips help you. Enjoy yourself !! 💚💚

hippieebbbz09 has some excellent tips for you to use.

I can only add in using some meditation and deep breathing.
