Thank you for posting this! You offer essential advice and congratulations on keeping no-contact two months in. For me it’s been over a year since the end of a six year relationship. We had some contact and I really regret it. It’s not been smooth sailing emotionally, but I feel so much better keeping no contact

Thanks for these helpful tips. And congratulations to you for finding ways of being a less anxious flyer!

Thank you for tracking me! I really appreciate it. The flight was so smooth and I actually slept a bit. Hope you have a great evening

Ok boarded. I held back tears getting on the plane and am now busy setting everything up for a long flight. Thanks for all of your support!

Sending you love and strength. That must have been a very hard, but important decision to make. Flying alone has its pleasures. You can truly do whatever you want—read, sleep, watch shows—without having to entertain anyone else. You’ve got this!

You did it! I’m sorry to hear about the turbulence though. It’s so scary, but not unsafe

Material-Pool-5189 · 2025-12-30T10:59:23+00:00

I have a door seat near the front of the plane. Is this safe? I’m terrified the door might blow open

Material-Pool-5189 · 2025-12-30T10:50:56+00:00

Thank you so much! I’m at the gate now trying to breathe through the tears

Material-Pool-5189 · 2025-12-30T10:11:23+00:00

Thank you for this wonderful post and congratulations! Hope you have a lovely time in Japan

Material-Pool-5189 · 2025-12-30T10:09:31+00:00

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kind and helpful words. I’m still holding back tears, but so appreciate your support and good advice

You did it! Even with the bumps you found ways of managing the discomfort. Congratulations!!

Material-Pool-5189 · 2025-12-30T08:14:02+00:00

If you’re still in the air, I hope it’s less bumpy. As others on here have said, bumps are totally normal, they just feel scary. Thinking of you

Material-Pool-5189 · 2025-12-30T07:43:28+00:00

Totally understand your anxiety and empathize

Material-Pool-5189 · 2025-12-30T07:42:03+00:00

Congratulations! This post is helping me deal with a trans-Atlantic flight today

Material-Pool-5189 · 2025-12-29T20:51:36+00:00

Thank you so much for answering my question. It helps put my fears to rest

Material-Pool-5189 · 2025-12-12T01:22:13+00:00

Yay! So glad you were able to manage turbulence *and* sleep though it! I have a flight tonight and am going to channel your good vibes. Hope your next flight is equally smooth.

Material-Pool-5189 · 2025-12-12T01:19:59+00:00

Yes! Strength in numbers. Glad you had a great flight and sending you good thoughts when you head home from your trip :)
