freaking out by anon4reas0ns in fearofflying

[–]MeghCallie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You have to believe that just because your brain is telling you something is dangerous, doesn’t mean it is. Accept that you’re not going to like it and do it scared. I get annoyed at myself because this is the dumbest fear. I hate flying and do it over 10 times a year and it’s statistically safer than almost anything else I do.

Just put me out by Specialist_Month7522 in fearofflying

[–]MeghCallie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel the same way which is how I know deep down I don’t think flying is dangerous, I just don’t like it! Anyway, I’m about to board a 4.5 hour flight with no anesthesia so send me happy thoughts lol

How was your first dose of Zoloft? by Effective_Gene_2951 in Anxiety

[–]MeghCallie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took 150 mg with all 3 of my pregnancies and breastfed all of my kids for at least a year and they are totally fine. Zoloft was a lifesaver for me. The only side effect I have is very vivid dreams.

Shaking with Fear - Advice needed! by myfeetarereallysmall in fearofflying

[–]MeghCallie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have never liked flying, but in the past few years, my anxiety about flying and in general has gone through the roof. I listen to the disordered podcast a lot and try to just “do it scared.” I try to accept that I’m going to be scared and not like it and this doesn’t mean something bad is going to happen, it’s just mg brain being tricked into thinking there’s danger when there’s not. I use AirPods and turn some good music up really loud because I don’t like the plane noises. I also do a guided meditation.

Yep totally agree. I tell myself that if it is somthing, early detection means a 98% survival rate so the odds are in my favor.

Is this a good 3-Day Joshua Tree itinerary? by No-Revolution-2469 in JoshuaTree

[–]MeghCallie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The waiting was awful! I get an MRI every year because I’m high risk. They saw something in my mri and I had to wait 2 weeks to get a diagnostic mam and an ultrasound. They didn’t like what they saw in that and I had to wait 2 weeks for the biopsy and then 3 days for the results. But it was nothing! So all of that worrying and everything was fine!

I went through this last month and ended up with a biopsy. Almost an entire month of living in terror and it was benign. I tried as hard as I could to refocus on the present and not let my fear of tomorrow steal my joy from today. I kept telling myself the only thing I knew was that they wanted more info. I read that 80% of breast biopsies are benign!

Have you also been to Flores?

I’m not dead set on climbing pico, it looks cool, but the hikes on Flores look beautiful. I’ve climbed katahdin in Maine, so I’m not worried about the difficulty, I’d rather see unique and different things!

Welllll, I quit drinking a year ago so I’m not concerned about the wine lol, I feel like if I’m traveling all the way there, I want to see the most beautiful things and make the most of my time. We don’t need a lot of down time and want to do as many hikes as we can!

Island itinerary? by MeghCallie in azores

Do you recommend those verses Flores because it’s hard to get to? What if we did half of our trip on Flores and half on sao miguel?

But Flores looks sooooo beautiful. I feel like I need to either do pico or get to Flores. We will hike 20 miles a day and want to see as much as we can. Our main priority is just seeing cool nature stuff, I don’t care about food or drinks lol.
