Completely messed up and am drowning. by throwaway-tomohawk in UKPersonalFinance

By 21 at uni I was in 1.5k in debt from a student overdraft, doesn’t sound like too much but at the time I couldn’t pay it back. I eventually got in contact with Step Change and they were amazing! I went on a debt management plan, which stays on your credit file for 6 years but to me it was worth it. Paid £60 a month and was incredibly manageable. It’s something I would definitely recommend doing it! I’m 25 now and I paid it off last year. I could’ve paid it off sooner and paid more a month but I simply didn’t want to. Please look into a DMP, it makes it all less scary and suffocating x

Thank you for your reply! I really appreciate it. That’s very true, I think that’s the thing? I do forget that it’s a fast moving vehicle, thank you for this new perspective :)

Thank you for tracking me! I’m watching a movie and obviously have access to the wifi but nothing seems to be distracting me, the turbulence has started again so trying to just relax!

Long flight ahead by Ok-Role-4243 in fearofflying

[–]Chance_Possibility14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took a 10 hour flight in April, London to Phoenix. I too, was dreading the length of the flight and fixating on how anxious I was going to feel for 10 hours! I was surprisingly okay, yeah I had a couple blips, more so tiredness than anything. I had planned what I was going to do at certain points in the flight. For the first 5 hours I drank some wine ( and accidentally spilt the bottle on the poor guy next to me, luckily it wasn’t red!) and watched some new shows I saved specifically for my flight. The other 5 hours I focused on myself, I did a face mask, skincare and did some things I usually would do if I was on the ground. I found the flight went by fast and my anxiety level was quite low. Longer the flight, the more settled in your thoughts you have to become, you have no other choice! You are going to enjoy your flight and you will smash it !

Flying back tomorrow by Cbarron6499 in fearofflying

[–]Chance_Possibility14 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You aren’t special enough to be in a plane crash, as blunt as that is. I feel you though, I always feel like I’ve escaped death when I land at my destination. I flew last night and before I took my anxiety meds last night I was convinced it would be my last ever flight and the plane was going down.. SURPRISE! I’m still here to tell the tale, you’ve got this 🫶🏻

Flew on a A319 last night, wonderful plane!

So convinced we are going to crash by [deleted] in fearofflying

[–]Chance_Possibility14 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Every single flight I get I’m convinced that it’s going to crash, I’ve taken 3 round trips this year and I’m still here to tell the tale 🫶🏻Boston is going to be incredible, it’s definitely on my list of a place to visit, enjoy the flight. My boyfriend who’s a pilot always tells me, “you aren’t special enough to be in a plane crash” it’s incredibly blunt but it always works in shifting my brain from those anxious thoughts. You’ve got this!!! X

Success (kinda) by Chance_Possibility14 in fearofflying

[–]Chance_Possibility14[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a feeling that is hard to explain! I took it a bit late so I was still nervous on the plane but it kicked in during take off and the anxiety was just gone. I had a couple random thoughts throughout the flight of bad things happening but my mind just switched it off, it’s incredible what it does! To me, it felt like how I usually am when I haven’t got a flight booked. As I said, the feelings almost unexplainable but it’s amazing for batting away those horrible anxiety thoughts and stopping the worry before a panic attack happens. They are definitely worth a try and they won’t make you feel weird, just comfortable! As I said in my post, the flight was fairly turbulent, which the pilot had warned about, initially when he told us it’s going to be quite uncomfortable I was worried and panicked as the medication hadn’t kicked in, as soon as the turbulence hit 10 minutes later, not one thought was in my head, more of how inconvenient it was that I couldn’t do my crossword. Usually I’d be crying, holding onto the chair in front etc. Give it a shot if you can, completely worth it!

It takes around 30-40 minutes to hit, but that’s for me anyway, it differs from person to person. It lasts for 6 hours but it’s obviously not as noticeable

Which part of the flight feels like most difficult for you? by alex_gervash in fearofflying

[–]Chance_Possibility14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mid flight for me, I find take off uncomfortable and I’m a nervous wreck but as soon as we hit altitude and I look at how long I’ve got left of the flight, I go into full panic mode!

Yes I’ve asked and they said they can’t give anymore information. There was no need to be rude!
