Im scared about going on Holiday abroad,

[HarryF178]

I know this sounds ridiculous but im really scared of going on holiday abraod. One reason is because i saw something on social media saying that terrorists are going to attack one of the places im visiting and since i believe everything most of the time it really scared me and makes me panic at times. The second reason is that im scared of flying. I have been abroad before but for the past 3 - 4 years, for some reason i feel really nervous and scared when my holiday is slowly approaching. Is there any tips to get these thoughts out of my head?

Hi Harry, sorry you’re having fears, this should be a time of excitement!

The world is a very scary place nowadays, but the chance of something like that happening are slim, and the chances of it happening and actual damage being done is even slimmer. Ease your mind, read or take a bath (or both!) Think of all the fun you’ll have on holiday and try not to stress, easier said than done.

I hope you have a fantastic as well as safe holiday and flight, wishing you the best! - LightSezor

Harry!

I totally understand when it comes to flying.. my first flight I had a panic attack on the plane just as the plane was taking off lol.. the flight attendants are amazing when it comes to support! They calmed me right down within minutes and before I knew it we was in the air so if your ever worried talk to the attendants they are always there to help you! Secondly

Okay I see you pointed out terrorists attacks where your destination is.. don’t let this ruin your holiday.. simply because the chances of this happening is very very low, I prefer to block the news out of my life lol I hate listening to the news radio or watching it on tv cause it makes me overthink about a lot of this.. which I can see it’s affected you! So try avoid the news unless it’s something you are interested in.. another thing is if your ever stressing about your holiday try looking on YouTube some amazing scenery on where abouts your going! It eases the mind and make you want to get on a plane tomorrow & visit that place! There’s plenty more solutions to this also, reading, swimming, drawing, meditation, animals.. try those out! If you need more info/advice then let me no buddy! ☺️ hope you have a lovely holiday!

Thanks for the reply Ben! I always try to avoid the news but sometimes i end up seeing it on Facebook and other social media sites, i will definitely watch some Holiday videos later on today to try and calm myself down and if i need to i will also speak to a flight attendant when im on my flight! Thanks for the reply, your response really helped me out

Hello Harry ,

I always enjoy reading reviews about where Im going .I love packing and look foward to spending quality time with family or friends . I’m sure if any major issues they wouldn’t allow travel to where you are going . Keep in touch with us all if like while away we are always here.

We all want you to go and have a fantastic time.

Let us all know if really struggling with anxiety see your GP if anything can recc to calm you during the flight. Bon voyage
