Should I stay or go?

[Clarita83]

Hi everyone. A few weeks ago I missed my plane to fly home for a few months due to my nerves. I had deemed myself unfit to fly, usually I'm totally fine with flying but my severe anxiety didn't allow for it. I still wonder if I should have pushed myself but then there are days where I'm feeling most anxious, fearful of nothing and constant panic that I think to myself " yeah, this is the reason why I stayed home I couldn't possibly travel until I feel better this is the right decision."

I can't help but wonder if having family around would help me more than staying here without friends or close connections apart from one person. I find myself looking at flight tickets wondering if I should stay or go? My mind is tricking me thinking things might get worse if I " move" from this spot, stay put,fly later. My mind fears that the flight will only kick up my nerves even more and what would I do since my Dr is in Australia, I wouldn't have a Dr to go to when I'm home. It feels " safe" to stay put but is it wise?

hi is it the flight that's made you feel this way.flying is probably the safest mode of travel.the doctor can give you something to relax pre flight to settle you down.

Hi there. It's not flying that did it, it's that I'm currently in a nervous state and that day in particular severe anxiety got the best of me. Any other old day I would have flown without a second thought. I fly every other year for ten years now. It's just my nerves at the moment, so shot. Thank you for replying. 🙂

no worries if you have rearranged then try just to forget the nerves and place it with the positive aspects the travel will bring afterwards.sure you will make the choice that's best for you.
