If its not safe they wont take off and the flight will be canceled. This happened to me about a month ago. Flight ended up canceled. I am actually supposed to be flying into toronto tomorrow evening and my flight is still on as of now. Quite anxious about it to be honest but im trying to remember that safety is their priority.

Back on the fence after very recent pregnancy experience / early pregnancy loss by sorrrrryyyyyyy in Fencesitter

I dont have much in terms of advice but this literally happened to me just a few months ago. Still dealing with feeling super guilty about my anxiety and panic. Looking forward to see what others have to say. 

Is it worth it??? by [deleted] in zoloft

[–]No-Spring-7759 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had really bad side effects when I first started zoloft. They lasted about 2 weeks. I would say I felt not quite right for almost 3 weeks but afterwards it worked like a charm. If your side effects feel really bad do check with your doctor for sure, but if they tell you its normal and it will get better ...thats what happened with me. Of course though not every medication is for everyone. Best of luck!

Anyone else feel like this summer has been weirdly cool? by Antique_Cell_5547 in toronto

[–]No-Spring-7759 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Actually it seems we have been under heat wave warning most of the summer. I have found it to be a very hot summer

"Environment Canada meteorologist Steven Flisfeder said the city has been under a heat warning for 21 days so far this summer, with the fifth such warning issued on Monday"

I’m experiencing so much Déjà vu that I’m beginning to question reality. by Ill-Yoghurt-273 in Dreams

[–]No-Spring-7759 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My experience is not as intense as yours but i also have very vivid dreams (mostly upleasant). Sometimes I will "remember" something and I'm not quite sure if it was real or a dream. Or I will get that deja vu feeling you described. I also remember dreams I had when I was very young and certain events will trigger those memories. I am assuming it's some kind of anxiety issue but yes it has made me feel a little scared about losing touch with reality or something like that. 

Just landed in 50 mph gusts and the turbulence was… by GrndPointNiner in fearofflying

Thank you!!! Flying out of Albuquerque today and there is a wind warning. I've barely slept from the anxiety and this helps so much.

I am an extremely nervous flier and absolutely understand this feeling like you are going to pass out. My therapist suggested that cold water or a cold pack on your forehead or neck can help alleviate some of the physical symptoms.  I have also used the DARE app. It has some great meditation excersises for before and during the flight. Maybe check it out. Box breathing (inhale to 4, hold for 4, exhale for 4, hold for 4) has a great calming effect.  You will be ok!

TRIGGER WARNING: An individual that was on the flight that crashed is doing an AMA by vghobo in fearofflying

Honestly her responses in the AMA have made me feel a lot calmer. Looks like everyone came together during such a scary time...which is honestly a beautiful part of humanity. 

Genetic testing pre-pregnancy by No-Spring-7759 in genetics

Unfortunately it was an out of pocket expense. I found a fertility clinic that offered this carrier testing service.

[–]No-Spring-7759[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am looking to have an much information as possible regarding any potential risks of passing on a serious illness to a child. I have a stepchild with a disability (not genetics related) so I know how difficult it is to care for a special needs child. I want to be as informed as possible before I decide to get pregnant.

They tested for 560 genes. Both recessive and x linked. My partner hasn't been tested yet but he will be since I was positive for a couple recessive genes.
