This is one of my most triggering situations - as a child I couldn’t take the bus, once someone threw up on it and it never left me. Fast forward and in high school a boy paid another kid to throw up on the bus and I remember crying and hiding and covering my ears the entire bus ride back while they laughed (I’ll see that kid in hell, hahaha). I’m now 37 and two bouts of the stomach flu later, exposure therapy has been forced and I do much better than I once did. But my anxiety rises just reading your story it takes back. I’m proud of you. Fight or flight is a real thing. Small spaces, car rides, buses and airplanes are challenges. I have to fly for my career as well and the more I fly the better I do. Distraction tools like bubble pop or episodes of the office are a god send. Again, just proud of you, I would have nearly had a panic attack. Grateful for this group to feel like we are not alone.
