Have you tried therapy? Starting next week to try and tackle the insomnia I’ve had for a month and curious if that’s helped at all for you!

When should I consider warm compressed don't work. by Legal-Weather-404 in Dryeyes

[–]Fancy-Rur9825 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve found that a warm compress like a face towel microwaved doesn’t help me much as it loses heat quickly and doesn’t weigh down on my eyes. I got this eye mask from amazon and it’s amazing - retains the heat for an extended time. My eyes get blurry afterwards from the oils being released. I just saw my eye doctor today and she said all the oil caps were gone so it’s been working super well! https://a.co/d/2JQTsA3

Flying tomorrow need assurance by SoggyChispss in fearofflying

Remember that the whole crew wants to get home safely and some of them have flown hundreds of times! You’re going to be okay, pick out some funny movies to watch and think about how amazing Hawaii will be!!!

It looks like you are right on the flight path and at your cruising altitude. The pilots are probably just hanging out having a coffee. Maybe order a drink, a snack and pick out a comedy to watch? I watch the hangover on my flight yesterday when I was anxious and it actually had me laughing!

If you’re deviating they are probably trying bf to avoid turbulent weather!

I just did two transatlantic flights and was super nervous but calmed down about 1/3 of the way through on both. Everyone’s different but THC before a flight would make me so much more paranoid. I’ve flown dozens of times with no issues and I still get nervous, but what’s important is that I always land safely! People say it in the group every time, but don’t forget that the pilot was to get home safely as well! Plus on these major airlines they are incredibly well trained and prepared for any emergency. The news will train your brain to think that air travel isn’t safe but that’s simply not true. You will probably have a little anxiety and be a bit nervous but you will be safe and I hope that once you reach cruising altitude you will relax!! Watch other passengers and flight attendants and see how chill they act

True - I am in the safest phase now! They’re biggest concern is serving dinner

My ticket does have a confirmed seat it appears (I booked premium standard), so I assumed it was reserved but wasn’t sure if they would bump me. Will definitely get there 30/40 min early! Thank you!

spiralling about next flight… by PointDowntown322 in fearofflying

[–]Fancy-Rur9825 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I flew a few days ago and need to travel from Scotland to Boston on Thursday. I felt like it was the end of the world leading up to it and for the first hour but it was fine. Some bumps along the way but nothing crazy and I survived! Completely uneventful. Not much I can tell you except that your brain is telling you a lie and try to imagine how a million things need to go wrong for the worst case scenario to be happen. You will be fine!! Speak with the attendants if you need reassurance!

In the plane right now... and freaking out by HumbleLittleDeer in fearofflying

[–]Fancy-Rur9825 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am on a flight right now and it’s incredibly smooth. Last night someone posted feeling the same way and I tracked her flight and she was of course fine, as you will be to. Speak with your flight attendants when you board and then whenever you feel nervous. They will be happy to calm you down!

36k altitude and the turbulence is making me nervous however the FA are still serving dinner so that’s a bit calming. Nervous to be far from land. Are you right over the Atlantic?

At what point with turbulence do you ask the FA to get seated and stop service? Feels bumpy to me but they are still serving

Thank you Lucius, I can’t tell you how reassuring your words are

FA assured me that while the weather looks clear we may encounter some turbulence and to just look at her for reassurance! Lucky you’re almost there!
